Default RE: Bowtechs new cam system

Obviously, I am not a tech. and I have been shooting Bowtechs quite a bit lately so you may consider me biased. However, I don't have an Equalizer cam system bow at the moment so that has to count for something.

I cannot address your question Kevin in the manner in which you are requesting however I might have some more questions to either aid you or for you to aid others.

First......

IF they're perfectly symetrical, as this system is stated to be. If the symetrical hybrid is in fact perfectly symetrical and self centering and does not allow for this individual dynamic balance adjustment due to it's design as implied, (in other words if one can spin the power cables 25 twists as bowtech staff have stated without affecting the nocking point height/limbtip travel /dynamic balance ) how can individualized dynamic balance be acheived then?
Could not the same thing be said of hybrid designs since there is not a split yoke on one end as well or does this quote answer my question....

Asymetrical hybrid systems also allow manufacturers to "build in" a wide timing range via modules for an easily-adjustable dynamic balance range allotment which promotes improved holding/ aiming qualities while still maintaining the excellent nock travel at all drawlengths.
In other words the lack of the modular adjustability (as on conventional hybrid designs) on the new Equalizer cam system takes away from its ability to be fine-tuned?


Second.....

In technical estimation (not just the usual blowing biased smoke please) what does this symetrical system have that asymetrical hybrid systems, (which BTW have great nock travel AND drawlength adjustments in 1/2 increments via modules) do not have?
As I stated, I am not a true tech. but would ask if you had read through the explanation of the Equalizer cam system on their website? I am not saying that to be sarcastic however I do remember reading something regarding how the lack of having any of the cables attached to the limbs in the conventional fashion helps to eliminate many nock travel issues caused by "irregular" or "inconsistant" limb flexing/movement.

Your thoughts on this?
