The Hooter Shooter is not what will determine what "the best" type of equipment or design that a bow/cam configuration is. All the HS does is shoot the bow the same way, every time. It doesn't care if shoots a single cam, dual cam, hybrid, or recurve. It will put the same arrow in the same hole EVERY time, even a severely bent arrow or waaaay outta whack-timed bow.
Kind of makes the lay person (me) wonder what the point of the hooter shooter is. However, it still seems to me like this would be the ultimate proving ground for the equipment to shine, since you have eliminated all other variables, the only variable left to out perform, is the equipment. Eventhough the difference may be negligible at 20 yards surely there would be some difference at say 90 yards if one system were truely superior. JMO
Then you start to have to consider what is most forgiving and easy to use for the average archer or joe-bowhunter who may not possess that impeccable form.
That gets me back to my point. Is that really a consideration? Since, millions of average joe archers are shooting some of the less forgiving types of setups (including myself) equally well or better than they have ever shot anything else (better in my case) and they are shooting baseball size groups at 40 yards (for example) then what do they really stand to gain. Basically, if it doesn't matter what the pros shoot and the average Joe isn't shooting for Vegas type accuracy and probably isn't capable of it (I know I am not). it just seems to me like you would be hearing stories of great shooting ephanies where once guys got a hold of the hybrid cams system they saw the light and immediately began shooting the best groups of their lives etc., unless you subscribe to the "most shooters aren't good enough to tell the difference philosphy", in which case we have determined that it won't make a difference to the pro and it won't make a difference to the average shooter so again it kind of makes you wonder what the point is and if there is really that much difference. Again, this is just the perspective of this individual mediocre archer.
How do you blow the doors off someone that may shoot perfect, or near perfect scores all the time?
If they are doing that with "inferior" equipment it again raises the question "just how inferior is it"? I have to admit that it all leads me back to the same conclusion, to steal a line from jeffB, "it's the doofus behind the string that matters". Could we be trying to make mountains out of mole hills? Could we be overanalyzing? don't get me wrong i see a place for these conversations and I have learned a great deal from them, I just keep getting led back to these conclusions.
