Here is my take. I originally shot dual cams for year with good success. I then switched to a solocam with good success and now, I'm on my first Hybrid system, the Cam 1/2, again, with good success.

The evolution of the cam systems is a big deal these days, especially for the "big 3". Both the single and the hybrid systems work well. I do however suspect that the hybrid systems may be more efficient than the solos.

As far as the nock travel issue. Unless they can nail down perfect nock travel in the future, the big key is not level travel, but consistant travel. I think either the solo or hybrid can accomplish consistant travel.

I am pretty loyal to Hoyt, they've been good to me and I shoot them well. If Hoyt was still plugging away with the solo, I'd still be shooting them. The cam system was not a factor. It was a nice change to shoot a C.5 though.

One question I have about the current solo lineups is this. When Hoyt was still using the Versacam, they used a dual track idler. They used 3 similar length strings and cables on the bow instead of one giant string that returned as a cable and short yoke. The shorter length string, much like a dual cam string, was less apt to stretch and twist than the longer counterpart. Of course this can be almost completely eliminated with the new high end strings like WC and such. Isn't that a better system than the current solos? Why aren't others using this?
