Default RE: Spiral Cam & 1/2

I guess I sounded more miffed than I actually was. You said you were confused about it, so I clarified it.

But you did sort of make me sound like a wuss because I could not draw that bow back. Not everyone in archery is a 6 foot he-man trying to draw the most poundage they possibly can. I am sure if I aimed it at the floor and yanked on it like I was starting a lawn mower it would have rolled over. If I can't hold it out in front of me and draw it straight back I put it back on the rack. I am sure being a shop owner you have seen someone creep a little and get the string ripped out of their hand. I don't want to be that person. Like I said though, most bows with that configuration I can manage. Maybe I will go back and have them turn the poundage down on one so I can see what it feels like, but by these discriptions I doubt I will like it.

Like I said, I am obviously confused on the term "smooth". If you are talking about a cam that has very little noticable peak to it and a low let off, that's not what I meant. Those are the cams I don't like. I like cams that build up and then drop down into a higher let off. They are easier for me to draw and hold. I consider a smooth bow one that is easier to draw at a higher poundage, maybe I am wrong.

I will also admit that the cam and a half does feel a lot more like a two cam than conventional solo's. Maybe that is why I like the versa cam better. That's just the draw cycle I am used to and prefere. It was a lot closer to the darton that I currently shoot, so it felt right to me. Now this used martin cheetah I just got with the dual cams and low let off just feels wrong, I don't like it at all. Nothing wrong with the bow, just don't like the way it feels. Thank God for technology.

Don't ever worry about offending me. If you do I will flat out say so, or just won't bother commenting at all. I just wanted you to know what my reasoning behind the comments were. No need for an apology, but I accept it just the same. And in counter I will say that I did not mean anything by the comment about not caring if you sold them or not. I was not implying that you were a hack shop owner.

Maybe I should save my smart ass comments for after I have actually drawn one back and shot it<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> (That's what you meant to say, isn't it, and you would have been right in saying it.)

Good luck,
Paul
