RE: "Hybrid cams"= "winds of change blowing"

I do agree with your analogy of forgiveness but highly disaree with your analogy that the cam doesn't affect forgiveness.Have you ever heard of creep tuning? This is just tuning in forgiveness and it has everything to do with cams and there design.First of all it isn't even a possibility with a 1 cam bow.A 2 cam bow is capable of this but slight string and/or cable stretching changes it.So now we have the hybrid that will creep tune,basically out of the box and will not change with slight cable stretching.Also a hybrid and a 2 cam will have the string running vertically instead of at an angle and this enables the string to move forward without the side to side movement found in most 1 cam bows.There again,forgiveness.
A hybrid will, in most hands provide better balance,there again,better balance means more forgiving or shootable or however you want to put it.Yes,you can achieve balance with other cams but usually some tiller adjustments need to be made or weight needs to be added.A hybrid basically offers it right out of the box.
I also feel that a smoother transition into the valley will provide a more forgiving shot because the transition out of the valley isn't as harsh.This should provide smoother and more consistant arrow flight.There again,yes,tuning will eliminate some of this,but a hybrid is already half way there.Level nock travel is also a consideration in this department.
