Default RE: Preferences..single or dual cam?

ORIGINAL: davepjr71

Typical cam bows that use the split yoke have problems with cam lean due to the upper harness attached to the outside of the limbs?

By attaching the cables to the cam instead of the end of the limbs there is less chance of cam lean. It's not only done by Bowtech.

Also,Binary cam bowshave 2 seperate cables not 1 continuous cable like the cam1.5 and the single cam. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have 1 continuous cable? By slaving the cams together using the 2 cables both binaries turn together and eliminate timing issues.
So you feel that attaching a single cable end to a single side of a cam will help eliminate the way it leans more so than a dual cam setup with a split harness that is attached to BOTH sides? Keep in mind a true dual cam system has the cable attached directly to the axle that cam sits on and can be tweaked for cam lean at static and full draw by adding/taking away twists from side to side...........

How so? Expand on this for us..........

I have personally owned 3x binary cam bows and have tuned at least 50 others literally. I know how they are cabled quite well. I never stated they had one continuous cable, but if you add the two together you have significantly more cabling than a single cam. My statement wasn't to show that the single cam was superior to a binary or cam.5 or dually because of shorter overall cable lengths, it was to show that the statement "a more consistent shooting system without the 100" of string to constantly stretch and creep on ya" is not accurate.
