Default Another tech ? for Pinwheel and others.

Another ? about something that affects accuracy or forgiveness. The Merlin site and Pinwheel both mentioned that the amount of string that came off the cam(s) had a negative effect on forgiveness. Does that mean that bows that try for efficiency using large string tracks, small cable tracks and much stiffer limbs are more prone to compound shooter errors than a bow with limbs that are less stiff, but bend through more of an arc?
Also, many bows, (starting with the XI Velocity I believe) make a point of vertical limb travel, and its reduction of recoil. Are these bows any more prone to be less forgiving than bows whose limbs move more in a lateral plane? One of the easiest bows to shoot accurately for me was the Machined Supreme. That riser style is certainly not in vogue today, is it?

Avoid the inevitable until it is absolutely unavoidable!
