Default RE: Defending Mathews....

ORIGINAL: EODLT

Mr Rob.
Please see my above post with a provided link to an article by cncmachine magazine. It states that Mathews built the first prototype of a solo-cam bow, (this is of course a compound bow) I dont know what kinda thingy that there is but its not from this planet I am certain... Anyway, this was done in 1991 and the entire article is a pretty intresting read, but the topic paragraph is maybe halfway down the page. It goes on to say that he came up with the idea to do away with cam timing issues associated with double cam bows of the period. (1991, just so no one is confuzzled).

I would now like to get a little bit Dr. Philly for a second.

"You've gota lot to learn"

I would say that we all have a lot to learn, for instance, I would like to learn more about the Leica 1205 Total station sitting beside me on the desk. (I named him Robby, cuz hes a robot... kinda catchy.) Its a powerful machine and I have the manual but I dont know of all its capabilities yet, because I dont use them all on a daily basis.

Im sure you can think of something that you dont know, or maybe you would like to know more about...?

The only reason I got testy before was because this fellow had written somethings without providing any proof... which is unacceptable. For example, If I were to just blurt out that I was the tallest person on Earth, without any proof or evidence to back that up, there would probably be some sliver of doubt in the minds of some of the forum users? Agreed?
Correct, we all have alot to learn, I try to learn daily but one thing I don't learnn from is misinformation. Misinformation only breeds misinformation.

It states that Mathews built the first prototype of a solo-cam bow, (this is of course a compound bow)
That should be worded, the prototype of their solo-cam...ie the name of their bow at the time the Mathews Solocam....not the first single cam, they did not invent the very first single cam.

Again, a compound, single cam circa 1987...if my history is correct, 87 came before 91.
