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

I expected that my statement would draw a response.
TFOX, yes I know what creep tuning is, though I don't bother. So it's a tuning option when two cams are present, not the cams themselves that are more forgiving. IMO, creeping is more prevalent with two cams than one due to a less definable (solid) wall. Some people shoot dual cam bows "out of the valley" for this very reason.
TFOX:
A hybrid will, in most hands provide better balance
Why not in all hands?
TFOX:
Yes,you can achieve balance with other cams
A tuning option.
TFOX:
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.
I feel this is more product of width of the valley, and percentage of let off. A narrow valley, with low let off, will have less transition when shot. Another tuning option on some cams, by design on others.

All the hybreds I have shot with an eliptical top excentric " not hoyt" have been easy to tune and given me what I precive to be better arrow flight , broadhead tuneing ,
I assume you meant "perceived" to be better.... You kinda lost me here. Do you mean to say you actually got tighter groups, shooting darts? Or it "appears" you got tighter groups, shooting darts?

A person needs decent, repeatable form to get consistent shot placement. This may be better achieved by some cams when a bow goes out of tune but, continuing to shoot an out of tune bow is not something smart archers do. BTW, I heard Mathews is coming out with an innovative variation of the hybrid cam. It's called the "inbred cam".
