Todd's exactly right... and I'm NOT trying to sell you on my bow or anything I represent -- just food for thought later on as you look into different systems.

I remember when you got your last couple bows from garage sales (and didn't you find one in a dumpster or something like that?) Maybe your good fortune will continue and you can come across something like that again... And you could probably replace your limbs and still come out smelling like a rose considering what you've got into it.

Doesn't get much simpler than a hybrid.Haven't touched mine in about 2 years.Atleast the strings and cables as far as timing goes.

Set it and leave but each to his own.
Yep that's what I keep hearing but I just can't see how it's simpler than a single cam bow. They say there are no timing issues but there are. I can tell with my Oasis that the top cam is not rotating the same as my lower cam. It still shoots great but Ican't help but think it maybe could be shooting better.

I fiddle with it twisting cables and what not, and I think I have it set rightbut it's still not perfect.I noticed that even if I only adjust one of the cables it not only effects the cam it's supposed to but the other as well.It seems that both need to be adjustedeven if onlyone cam is out of synch.Again it shoots good and I guess that's a complement to the design of the hybrid system but it does nothing for my OCD (obsession compulsion disorder).

With a single cam, I know when it's timed right by the lower cam position and I stays that way.

I hear ya and your probably right it's just hard to not go with something that works so well. Take for instance that garbage bow. It's a cheap single cam Browning Rage One. I put it back together (it just needed a idler wheel, pin, bushings and a guide rod) put onStone Mountain Dakota string and cable and that sucker has shot spot on since that day, I never had to mess with it one time.......a cheap bow no less.

It's hard to overlook that when I'm constantly messing with the Oasis, and it shoots good too don't get me wrong, I just feel it can shoot better and that's what I'm afraid I will be wondering with a hybrid system if I buy one as my primary hunting bow.

I'm sure as time goes on I will get used to them just as I have the single cams but for now, I'll just admire the technology from afar.

You are thinking too much.


Shooting great,what more do you need?[8D]


Seriously,you are mistaken no adjustability for the lack of need of adjusting.Single cams need alot of adjusting to keep things right.


A hybrid shoots great when not adjusted right,(as do single cams) but gives you the choice to tweak a little extra if that is your thing.


I will tell you that my favorite thing about the Hoyts is that I can adjust the wall to my desired feel and it has no effect on the cams shootability or tunability.

You got that right!

I need to not be always thinking... Is this thing shooting the best that it can?

I can see that if the string and cable stretch but if they don't.....what adjusting does it need?

I agree, my Oasis still shoots good no matter what I do to it......it reaks havoc with my OCD though.

Plus it cracked a limb so I'm pissed at it right now.

Count your blessings.

Lisa and I take the '03 Yukon in to have the air conditioner looked at, Friday. Estimate is $1,300.00. I get a second opinion.......$7-800. Ends up being $701.10.
GREAT! We "saved" $500!

Get home.....Hot Water Heater is leaking.....it's corroded....and it has to be replaced.
$400 of that $500.....gone.

It's always something, BigJ......always.....

That happened with my trucks last week. Two are needing repair at once. Murphys law I guess.
I'd like to meet that Murphy fella some day, I'd put a hurting on him!

No that would be redundant. We do have water heaters though!
