Default RE: I guess Pinwheel12 was right....

SA: I guess I'd better reiterate what I said because you REALLY read a lot into a paragraph!
I think that SA and others continually confuse tournament accuracy with hunting effectiveness/efficiency. I find many of my new customers complaining about fixed BH flight and penetration. Their field tip shooting is VERY accurate, but many won't shoot fixed BHs because of inconsistency. They also wonder why they're not getting the penetration that they used to get with some of their old bows.

I give them lenghty explanations for both of these complaints.
I didn't categorize what bows would or wouldn't perform. Yet you seem to want to imply that I'm knocking designs. What I stated was facts pertinent to concerns by my customers, and how many of them blindly follow a segment of our sport that has categorical differences in application/design requirements/results.

What you're missing is "I give them lenghty explanations for both of these complaints." You don't have a clue about the "lengthy explanations" and subsequently seem to guess as to what they are.

I have never used or eluded to the terms "holy grail" or "sliced bread". If you think that for one minute that I would deem/portray any design as "vastly superior", you're wrong again about me. There is far more to this subject of cam design than what I'd be willing to discuss. After all, didn't I make myself clear in my first post on this thread when I stated:
I am very intrigued about the new Equalizer cam. I've had it explained to me in detail and have an order in for whatever comes off the production line first. They know that I'll test it immediately on my APPLE machine and that I will tear it apart and try to make it fail. They're still willing to sell me some units; therefore, they may just have something there.
If you care to check with the Executives that were with Browning several years ago, I was extremely anxious to try out their new 'Zero Cam'. The initial design was nothing like what anyone expected; but, there was optimism by many, including yours truly.

You've evidently confused me with someone who has a definite mindset about any product. You may have missed the key word in one sentence in my last post. It was "...but many won't shoot fixed BHs because of inconsistency." The key word is MANY. If you don't have any problems, that's great and enjoy your equipment.

You would have to be the one to qualify the "significance" that you're looking for between products/designs. Sometimes the "significance" is a multitude of small issues that have a cumulative effect.
