Athur P. ,
I think I've got that desease !!! Made me give up my favorite bow to date ('96 MQ-1 70% cam)......luckily I was smart enough to give it to my father........now I'm just going to have to wait for him to kick over.... to get it back !! [

[:-]
Meanwhile ......I guess I'll bide my time buying a new one every year......knowing the one's I'm getting rid of are just fine !!

ok well to tell you all the truth there is one thing i dont like about my razortec.
for some reason i really dont like the 2 cam feel on a hunting bow i think it might be that the power stroke is so soon that if i have to hold back for a long time and i creep a little it wil hank it right out of my hand. so im kinda after a single cam

Some single cams are worse. Mathews tend to have a short valley at least the one I tried (LX)
The Newberry has a single cam that has a decient valley so you can get away with some creep.

I shoot a Matthews Feathermax. My dad has the same bow but just got a Q2. I think matthews are the best bows in the world. IMO. The legacy is an awesome bow. I would love to have one myself.

Pup,I know that feeling,you love your bow,but ya got to check out the new stuff.This past week,I looked at the Liberty,Patriot(both single and D-C),Pro 40,Hoyt X-Tec,Razortec,and a couple of Dartons.None of them would make me give up my LX.The only one I might take another look at is the Pro 40,but only after I look at the Ovation.Thats my story and I'm sticking to it,or at least until I get back from the Eastern Outdoor show in Harrisburg,PA that starts on Feb. 7...Bob
