RE: This cam & 1/2 has piqued my interest.
Go to Hoyt.com and check their forums. I have Ultra Tec after when I have sold my Legacy. Speed? With cam#6 at 30 inches I get 12fps than Legacy. Noice level is the same with very little vibration from UT.
Cam 1/2 it is new think on the block. The same or similar as Darton' s CPS.

RE: This cam & 1/2 has piqued my interest.
Todd in NY, the new cam.5 system is sweet!
As with any bow there is going to be some minor movement of nocking point.
With todays string materials, it is almost negligible.
Another way to look at it is....if a string material is going to stretch, it will only be a certain percentage, and with the 3 string system on the hoyts, the main string is shorter than on a conventional 2 string system. Thus, less movement.
Hoyt calls the timing marks " performance marks" . Regardless what they are called, you need to stay within them.
With a good set of strings, you will never have to worry about it.
Will the factory strings do the job? I don`t know, I always make my own strings and install them when I get a new bow of any make.
The split limbs from hoyt are proven to be excellent. You need not worry about them.
That said, the Mathews are great bows, and the legacy is right up there.
I have shot them both, and prefer the hoyt myself, mainly due to the fact that I prefer the handle/handposition on the bridge riser hoyts.
That is just my preference. Do I think the hoyt is a better bow? Nope, the mathews are hard to beat.
But, if you have been a staff shooter for them, you already know that!
Hoyt claims several advantages that the cam.5 offers, one being level nock travel, hence more accuracy.
That may be true, but I wouldn`t tell it to Jeff Hopkins, or Colin Booth.

What do you get with the cam & 1/2 that you don' t get w/a single cam.
That may be true, but I wouldn`t tell it to Jeff Hopkins, or Colin Booth.
