So from what I understand:
Single cams = able to adjust idler lean by yoke, but no adjustment for bottom cam lean.
Binary cams = no adjustments on either top or bottom cam without replacing parts
**So question is, what about the Hoyt cam 1/2 system. I know the top is adjustable by adjusting the top yoke, but what about the bottom cam? Is there adjustments for cam lean on thebottom cams for Hoyt bows?**
I was just curious which cam system has the most adjustability for cam lean?
Actually, the most adjustable of the different cam systems is dual cams. It's mainly because there is a cable yoke at both limb tips.
You asked about the Hoyt bows with cam+1/2. You have to be careful about this. The only problem with this is that Hoyt uses a floating yoke system for their cables. If you have any lean you can twist up one side of the yoke, but because it floats it will go back to the original position after just one shot. Those who really delve into this usually will replace the whole cable/yoke system with one with a static yoke.
Probably the nicest system going for adjusting for cam lean is the Martin Nitrous X and Furious X cams. This entails four cables, two on each side of the limb. An added advantage of this system is that the cams are located in the exact center of the limbs so everything tracks right down the middle. It also elimnates the cable guard which is thre main culprit for creating the limb twist in the first place.
The biggest problem with the X system is that people who haven't shot it are intimidated by it, thinking they will cut their cables with a broadhead when in reality the arrow is nocked from the front. You back the arrow into the string, which is very easy once you do it a few times. Like anything else new, once you learn it it becomes second nature.
