the VFT was typical of a speed bow - I wouldn't sugest creeping too far forward! It does want to take off. My impression of the cam is that it was smooth but not as smooth as the cam on their wheely bow or the new LX by mathews. It was a good drawing single cam but retained most of the drawing properties of most single cams designed for speed. I like the cam better than the mathews cam that they use on the Ultra 2 & FX. It is sort of like those cams in drawing but a bit more gentle and a lot faster. really I loved the way the bow shot, like anything else give a spin before you buy! I will say you will be hard pressed to find a single cam that shoots the way the VFT did. Man it smokes & I just can't wait much longer to get mine!
