Matt,

Come to think of it, it is kind of funny how Bowtech picked that name after Hoyt had already introduced their TEC bows....<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Jeff,

My apologies. I am in no way ignoring your posts...it was just that Matt got my attention quicker with that little witty comment about &quot;Mighty Mite&quot;...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

...and I admit the poopy diapers had something to do with it. I wonder if they make Scent lok diapers??? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Back to what you stated earlier.....considering what you posted about serving wear and my personal findings I can only come to two conclusions.....either Hoyt put together a really poor quality bow for you or the Excel cam shows much more wear than the Versacam. As I stated before I have zero serving wear now with the dual track idler Versacam....and I have checked several other 2002 Versacam equipped bows in the recent weeks...non showed cable wear...regardless of draw length or axle to axle length variations.

Could it be just a &quot;lefty&quot; phenomenon? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I am glad to hear that the Infinity cam does not have some of the same problems that the Lightning cam did. That was a big turn-off for me buying any other PSE Lightning cam equipped bows.

Second, you brought up the issue of level nock travel...... How is the nock travel with the Infinity cam? Have you checked it out yet? Is it typical of most single track idler wheel single cams?

I have always preferred cams with short valleys because I feel that they tend to promote less creep and better overall form....but there is a limit to everything and I am wondering if having such a sharp drop of into the valley and such a short valley could be detrimental to the shooter in terms of physical endurance? ie....how long before shoulder problems arise?

Finally, some day you and I are going to have to get together and you are going to have to show me this &quot;give&quot; that the Versacam's cable stop has. I have not experienced this issue...but that have more to do with my shooting form than the bow itself?

Thanks again for the great discussion Jeff....maybe we should move this technical discussion over to the technical forum?
