Caj,
The the let-off on the 2003 Dual cams is going to be 70% I believe?
If you do NOT like that feeling of the string wanting to take off if you creep a little......Don't creep.
Seriously, the BowTech dual cams have a very nice back wall to shoot against, but like Mez said a short valley. Its defined, but short. If you creep on these cams they will wake you up in a HURRY.....you don't get the fastest speed in the industry with wussy cams. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
I don't have any experience obviously with the 2003 cams so I can't speak on them, but the 2002's do draw very smoothly.....especially in the 60# range. They stack up hard at the end, fall over into that short valley and have as nice of a back wall as you will feel in adual cam. Kinda feels like a cross between a dual cam and a hard single cam to me.....the draw cycle is unique and you will either, love it, hate it, or get used to it because you can kill dump trucks if you want to. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I personally LOVE the feel of these cams and I shoot the 70# and the 60#r's. Thats why I'm getting the DC Patriot over the Single. Both cams are terrific performaers but I just really like these BowTech duals.
Some other models for you to consider other than the BKII in that 36-38" range would be:
Pro40 Dual Cam......38" ATA, 7.375" Brace height, 329-337 (If you want a 38" model These specs in my opinion doen't get much better for a blend of speed, forgiveness and stability)
Pro38 Single Cam....36.7" ATA, 7.375" Brace height, 306-314
Pro40 Single Cam.....38" ATA, 7.75" Brace height, 306-314
Or if you are willing to dip under that 36" mark a bit.....I think you'll find the BEST of the bunch for a hunting bow in the Dual Cam Patriot.
This is going to be my hunting bow for 2003 as its already ordered.
Just mull these numbers over a bit:
34.9" ATA (good mid length), 7.7" Brace height (nice and forgiving), and 332-340fps (good god that speed at almost an 8" brace height!<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>)
Combined with the improved cams, and other refinements , this is going to be the hunting bow that sets a benchmark for the industry in 2003. Count on it.
So you have some really cool options....there are terrific models in any style you could want, you just need to decide what ATA length and what cam/cams you are comfortable with. But the old adage still stands.....you might have one model in mind, but you'll still have to shoot them because chances are one is going to jump out at you and it might not be the one you THOUGHT you wanted.
