To each their own is the answer to that one--- Being on "the inside" I can give you a pretty good look at what is happening technically within the industry, give insight and viewpoints, and even give a pretty good indicator on what will come down the road if you guys wish-- but much like leading a horse to water but not making him drink I cannot force anyone to listen or believe, or shoot what you do not want to, simply due to your own beliefs--- and honestly if solocams float your boat that's fine with me, have fun, at least you are shooting something!! Some people still love recurves too.
Kevin,
I am not challenging the fact that duals or hybrids may be technically superior to single cam bows nor am I contending the fact that the industry may be headed in that direction. I also believe that this is not an issue of "beliefs" but rather one of personal preference as you made mention to in your last post.
I think that is what Jeff was trying to point out with his original post. If a shooter has a personal preference for a bow's feel and shoots better because of it then is that not more important than what the bow should "technically" be capable of?
I appreciate the thoughtful discussion and wish you luck with you luck with your bear hunt.
Arthur,
You are old but....
...."conventional" is a term that Kevin prefers for idler wheel style single cam bows. It seemed appropriate.
