Sag,
Take one very large step directly LEFT!!.....That should put you out of danger of any "Light" and into a whole new fresh frame of thought!!
I feel like saying sometimes....."When I snap my fingers you will wake up and you will not remember a thing" ......"You will now have an open mind"

Glad you are open to check out something a little different.I know that you know your stuff, and I don't think you'll be dissapointed in ANY of these bows. I think BowTech's line from top to bottom are some of the most innovative and well made bows on the market, but I understand the whole brand loyalty thing.
It's a pretty new company, and some guys see a direct threat to their trusted brands. The whole "Ford vs. Chevy" mentality.....I understand that as well.
BowTech is almost kind of like what happens with the Muzzy Zero Effect rest.....everyone has a bunch of questions and reservations......until they actually check them out and try one.
I think they are going to be producing some of the highest quality bows for many years to come.
TWANG.....I see all , know all. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I will most likely hunt with my "Pro38" this year as well as a "Mighty Mite"......Heck the Pro38 could probably shoot a coal shovel at 250fps.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
You're right.....a 37.5" bow is hardly a problem in a treestand. (Especially when you are 6'3"<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>)
The Mighty Mite was shooting a 350gr arrow for me at 317-318fps (depending on which chrono)with a string loop......which should put it at about 320-322 bare string.
That my friend is cookin' for a 7.25" brace height!
The 2 types of cams are pretty different.....but not totally.
The single "Post feed" cam has a pretty stiff draw cycle, snaps over pretty quick at the end thru a small valley, and into a ROCK solid wall.
The "BK" dual cams are pretty darn sweet.....you'll hear people say they are harsh? I don't think they are harsh, in fact I think they draw smoother than the single, they just pick up peak weight VERY early and carry it almost right thru til' the last second. The valley is VERY small, and the wall is also rock solid like the single cam.
If I blindfolded you and handed you my "Pro38" dual, I'd bet you'd have a hard time identifying it as a dual cam.
Your old "Hatchet" style dual cam this is not!......
And supposedly the cams are even nicer for this year giving them a smoother draw, a smoother break over.
I was reluctant to even TRY this bow because of my experiences with my old "G-Force", "Baby-G", "MAchined Supreme", and various other dual cams that sounded like a .25 cal pistol when shot.
I remember scaring people out of their shoes with my "G-Force"!!
I had a Hoyt dealer comment about how he couldn't believe how quiet my bow was. At 65# and a 350gr. arrow going 318fps.....it was as quiet as his Darton "Maverick" set at 60# shooting 500gr 2613 aluminum target arrows.(By the way.....interesting that a Hoyt dealer is shooting a DARTON??<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>)
Believe me...the first time I shot my Pro38 I was AMAZED myself. I think I had a smile that wrapped around my head.
Hey Coug, while I'm thinking of it......Don't get that stand of yours JAMMED together like some guy from Missouri did.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
Ask him about that someday.
