RE: Binary Cam Timing?

Timing and synchronization, as used in discussions about bows, are similar but different. Timing is the 'clocking' of any cam for optimization of efficiency/power. Synchronization is the adjustment of two cams to identical oroptimumtiming characteristics.

Now here is the glitch. Depending on the location of the nocking point, it is possible to have 'synchronized' but 'out of time' cams, or vice versa. The full draw issue is what I have found to be a critical element when discussing this subject. The desirable element is to get the 'package' working at its best.

Now keep in mind that a two cambow withthe split yoke system can throw a monkey wrench into efforts to achieve a timed and synchronized bow. That's a whole subject unto itself and the reason a lot of tournament archers bring their equipment to me.

Let me also say that this whole subject does not make any two cam bow something to avoid. New string materials and the advent of the binary cam system have made them much more desirable to a demanding customer base for many reasons.
