Default RE: ?'s about cam timing

Broker-

Like Len said, since by its very name- a ONE CAM, there is no synchronization to deal with. But the can go out of time.

Big difference between the two aspects. A one cam bow is designed so that the cam is in an optimal position rest, so that when the bow is draw to a certain draw length, the cam's orientation provides the best performance of nock travel, noise, shock, etc...

If you rotate the "at rest" position of a single cam bow by 10 degrees- you'll still be able to draw and shoot it. How would it perform? Not well.

That's why single cam manufacturers have draw length RANGES on cam modules. If timing of a single cam wasn't important- than why not have just one cam for everyone?
