So you're pointing out how well Mathews markets their bows.
......Is there a downside to this.....
Hes not saying they are dumb for doing how they do. We all know it works for them soo well. Its not bad at all. Kudos to them. but... Its ironic that their name is Mathews Solo Cam and they marketed the single cam like it was the end all technology. Now that they have been caught and passed up (in the speed game) the are going against their own name to produce a 2 cam bow, even though its techincally not a "Mathews Solo Cam" bow. Its a MAthews Mcphereson. That is the ironic part. Their success isnt bad, nor is how they achieved it.

Just smoke.
Hoyt did the same thing. They were the ones people tried to keep up with and while others were pushing the paralel limbs Hoyt and those that loved them did there talking with their bows. Then Hoyt decided to throw it all out for some reason and go paralel. They've played catch up since and many of their customers have left. Guys that defended Hoyt only to be left out to dry were confused as the Mathews people will be. I know one guy who has for years been on a crusade trying to convince people of the superiority of the single cam, kind of a zealot. He isn't going to be happy.
TFOX if it is old school reflex/deflex stuff seems to me they are going back to the bows prior to paralel limbs. I got an idea, just loose that far point were the limb contacts the riser and go with one contact point. Shorten the riser and increase the limb lenght and they might have something cutting edge. They could reduce some weight that way.
"nothing new under the sun"
Hoyt never ran 2 page adds on why parralel limbs don't work like Mathews did with the cam 1/2
And Hoyt has already done the rest of what you suggest.They just built what the market wanted.I have one and like it but no way in hell does it even compare to a protec,does it drock[8D] AND,imo,nothing compares to the proelite.
