Other than the Mathews guys, who shoots single cams ??? [&:]

Nearly everyone I know choses a hybrid cam system, be it from Hoyt, BowTech, etc. From my experience it's a more consistent shooting system without the 100" of string to constantly stretch and creep on ya.

Can you explain exactly how a dual cam has cam lean issues and how the binaries on your Allegiance solves this?

Instead you prefer 100" of cable and a binary or CPS/cam.5 is more consistent with 2x as much cabling? Explain to us exactly how.......[8D]

This is going to be an interesting thread........lol.

Typical cam bows that use the split yoke have problems with cam lean due to the upper harness attached to the outside of the limbs?

By attaching the cables to the cam instead of the end of the limbs there is less chance of cam lean. It's not only done by Bowtech.

Also,Binary cam bowshave 2 seperate cables not 1 continuous cable like the cam1.5 and the single cam. I'm not sure where you got the idea that they have 1 continuous cable? By slaving the cams together using the 2 cables both binaries turn together and eliminate timing issues.

Isn't that the Hoyt's that use the shoot through string systems to fix the cam lean problems?

I don't believe that is required for the binary cam bows.

Also, I beleive I actually anwsered the question that was asked. I didn't name bows until the commetns started.
