RE: Cam and a half? Hoyt versus Mathews?
Koontzy.
Before you decide on a bow you really should go and test as many bows as you can.
Just because a certain bow is the right bow for Bubba dont mean it is the right bow for you.
As for the cam.5 of today are a lot better than the cam.5 of 10 years ago the same goes for todays dual cams.
IMO the best bow Mathews ever built was the MQ1.
I am not a big fan of the roller guard and string supressors they have now just seems something else that can go wrong IMO.
