WWAG,

I agree. I believe that a 2 cam bow produces a more "balanced" feel as it recoils than a single cam bow, even extreme low recoil models like the Patriot and Legacy.

Based on my experience with the 2K2 BKII, I can only imagine that the DC Patriot with it's parallel limb design will be incredible. My BKII had very little recoil and just a bit of handshock when set-up with a Sorbotek stabilizer and limbsavers. Some of my other onecam and hybrid bows had much more noise, recoil and/or shock than the BKII does when set-up apples to apples.

Which brings me to another point. I find it quite "ballsy" these days in this market to bring out a dual cam design and promote it as your main bow for the year. Not only that but Bowtech has 2 or 3 more brand new dual cam bows. They have one new Ininfity cam model (E-VFT),and a fairly big overhaul (the Blackhawk), and now w/Hoyt doing the cam and a half, will this be the year that the market finally goes to doing their own thing, and getting away from the single track idler onecams? Will 2004 bring more of the same?

Of course we shall have to see what Mathews puts out in January, but I cannot help to think that Matt McPherson has painted himself into the corner by making it clear that in their view hybrids and dual cams are inferior.

Should be interesting to say the least.
