bowtech pro38 black knight cams
 

I'm thinking of buying a used Bowtech Pro38 with Black Knight cams.

Any opinions?

beprepn, if it was a single cam, it'll draw about 10# heavier with dual cams. It may have more brace height than the BKII. Are they 2001 or 2002 cams? You'd have basically a 2001 P38 dual cam. A very good shooter, IMO.
BTW, should you need draw length modules, get them for the cams, not the bow. They're different, and the bow will shoot like crap with the wrong modules.

Much appreciated. So a dual hard cam like this would be as hard to draw back and shoot as a single cam bow with 10 pounds less peak draw weight?

If I understood correctly, it makes me think I should go for a single cam. It doesn't seem that the extra 15 or so fps is worth an extra 10 pounds in effective effort.

At any rate, I passed. The bow ended up selling for 440 dollars and included an extra set of limbs (80 pounders). But I was tempted - I figured I'd have been shooting a 540 grain arrow at 1/4th the speed of sound! If I coulda pulled it back.

bprepn, sorry I was unclear. A 60# single cam, converted to dual cams, would have a draw weight of 70#. I don't think the draw cycle of a dual cam is harsher than a single. I'd say duals are generally smoother. Don't rule out a dual cam bow. My P38 DC shoots like a dream. 57#, 29&quot; draw, 365 gr arrow, around 290. My guess is the 80# limbs were actually 70# from the single cam setup, hence 80# with dual cams.

Thanks again!

Given that the duals are as smooth as the single cam bows and store more energy, what is all the single cam buzz about? I had just about settled on a Hoyt because of their cam and a half until I saw the price tag.
