Default RE: Would the Hybrids be popular if.....?

I've shot everything there is to shoot out there in this big old world, and right now, hybrids rule!

So Sag---I hear all this about how great the Tri-track is--- well I've shot 'em too and I don't think they're as good as my hybrid, so to settle this let's go shoot $ for $ , whattaya say? C'mon old buddy, let's go hit the 3D course! ( or field, or FITA, anything but indoor, I'll fall alsleep..OK, indoor too, whatever)[8D][8D]

All kidding aside, as stated many times in the last year, the Omega hybrid is to me the best shooting system I have shot to date-- this including Merlin's twins with shoot-throughs, and any X-cam or tri-track system.(yes, I've shot them! ALL of them!) Altho all of the twins and tri tracks do shoot well and I will still back them 100% as a great time-tested design, the hybrids simply shoot better IMHO, are easier to setup and tune, and are quieter--- cableguard or no cableguard. Solos IMHO don't come close to either twins or hybrids, been there and done that, too.

Bowtech will have them by next year, I'll put money on it. If they don't they'll be missing the boat. As far as being "faster", who cares? I thought that is why the Liberty is selling the best for them this year, because they got away from all of that junk and went to "smooth and accurate"?(very smart!) Some people never learn, I guess.[8D]

The only reason why companies still offer duals or solos along with the hybrids is money, that simple. Merlin was going to scrap the twins this year much like Hoyt did (solos are long since gone) but for monetary gain with those not yet convinced of the hybrid (guys like Sag! [8D] LOL) they decided to keep the twins around for at least another year. Other companies (such as Martin, Darton, Champion, Newberry and others) are trying to reap the same rewards of offering variety. That's all it is.

Those other systems will soon be gone tho unless they pull a rabbit out from somewhere with yet another new design that can better the hybrids.... and they better do it quickly. I don't see it coming tho, not for at least awhile.

But I do think we'll see many more hybrids to come in the future. Official prediction.

Bedford is coming Sag. Start practicing-- PMR? SPM? HC? FBO? Whatever you want....[8D] LOL.

Good shooting, Pinwheel 12
