Default RE: Tuning the Single Cam?

Hahaha, yes, I suppose you are correct! The magic words are--&quot;if you do everything right&quot;. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> This aspect holds true with every shot no matter what you are shooting, no arguement there.

BUT, with lesser tension in the system due to the 80% or more let-off that &quot;masks&quot; the normally found harsh draw cycle of most single cams today, (all single cams stack energy very quickly at the beginning of the draw cycle due to the systems' overall design, regardless of whether they are &quot;rounder&quot; or not) this lesser tension also enables an archer to &quot;relax&quot; off of the wall and creep much more frequently than those with more tension throughout the system and is why you find alot of top shooters shooting the 65% letoff single cam bows as it helps them be more consistent. Believe me, having more tension(without being overbowed mind you) will make any archer a better archer. It keeps tension on the muscles, gives a much cleaner release,(less dwell) and forces the archer to keep a good amount of back tension going, which will build back muscles quickly and provide faster learning of &quot;muscle memory&quot;.

OK, nuff said.

I'm not going to get fully involved in another solo/twin debate like the one on the other thread as I feel it would be simply repetitive. You asked this question, I gave my input, whether anyone cares to believe me or not is redundant, I just try to help as that is my job.(as stated it is not just a hobby for me, it's my livlihood) It's up to each individual to take what he/she wants from these posts and threads and use it to his/her advantage. All I or any other tech can do is offer our opinions based on many years of hands on experience. Good shooting!<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> Pinwheel 12
