Don,

I believe BowTech has been doing it for 3 years now. This year they made the binary cam system across the board on all their products. Goes to show you how much they believe in it.

Here is a link for all other binary cam system bows that I know of.

If your looking for a "low maintenance" bow I would suggest a single cam model. Every manufacturer makes them (I think) so you havemany to choose from.

Whatever bow fits you the best should be your main thought, not cleaning. Try all the big guys and little guys, and make that pro shop cater to you!

Cyotestalker, its not cleaning that I am trying to avoid its, retiming, string and cable replacement, limb replacement etc that I am trying to avoid. Sorry for the missunderstanding. Maybe I am just lazy but I just do not like to fiddle with my equipment. I seem to adapt to most bows well enough to do what I want to do so I am not so picky about how a bow feels at first.

Dnk,

That is how I picked my bow. I first and most importantly found a bow that from an engineering perspective had a true advantage (thats the binary cam system). I say most important because it will be a consistant shooter for years to come.

I then tried several models of the BowTech line to see what one felt best to me and one that matched my hunting style. Axle to axle and brace heightwas another factor to consider in my decision.

Then after shooting the BowTechs the grip design, balance, etc was all there. That's why I don't understand how a person can not like a BowTech. What is there not to like? The only reason I see that somebody may not like it is because they are used to how their "old" bow feels.

Every single thing on this bow is set up for success...if you don't like the way it feels and are truely looking for accuracy I find that your style/feel needs to change, not the bow. That comment will get some heat, but I'm serious. When I truely believe in something I push it.People say the grips are too narrow on the BowTechs. Well common, it's not built for comfort, it's built for accuracy. That narrow grip sits so good in the right spot of my hand I can duplicatea good shotover and over. If you want a hand full go grab something else don't try and get your hand full and expect accuracy at the same time. I could go on and on for every detail, but enough for now.

MilDotMaster, that may have been a little over devoted but I get what you are saying. I feel the same way about a certain manufacturer of cars that I believe in.

Sounds like my wife when she describes me. Of course she is wrong!
