Overall, the Bowtechs impressed me the most, in particular the 82nd. I love the draw cycle and the solid back wall. I'm used to the mushy feeling of the hybrid cams. The draw stop on the Bowtechs makes for a rock solid back wall. I really liked that.

The back wall was a little spongy, like all hybrid cams.

I don't know how mushy your cam&.5's are, but my cheap old Reflex has a comprable wall to my dad's drenalin. It's pretty solid, and there's no valley, but I can still overdraw the cams. It's all in cam timing and synchronization.

But it's still nothing like the 82nd;)

, my local pro shop owner told me the new Parkers are pretty insane, anyone know about them? They're not on the website yet, but figured maybe a few of the well connected may have had a chance to play.

here is a brief article on what is coming.RAPTOR XP is in stores now. i held it the other night, didn't get to shoot it though. to be honest, i was disappointed with the over all fit and finish from it.

I think "mushy" is probably an overstatement as it applies to hybrid cams. That slightly spongy feeling of the hybrid cams as you pull hard into the limbs never bothered me - until I shot the Bowtechs with the draw stop. Only when compared to the Bowtech's back wall does the cam and a half feel slightly mushy.

I found out that I really prefer the rock solid back wall the draw stop provides. That has to be a more accurate way to shoot IMO.

With a hybrid cam,if you pull hard into the limbs, versus shooting fom the valley, your Point of impact could change if your bow is not perfectly tuned.

With a draw stop, you'd be always shooting from the same spot in the cam. So it seems to me like you'd be more accurate this way.
