Giblet, I’m curious as to what vice versa has to do with Hoyt and Bowtech? Could it be the Tech riser or the cam and ½ or spiral cam with sealed bearings? NOooo Could it be the ¾ split limbs or the string yoke system? NOooo. Maybe it’s the stainless steel fittings standard on Hoyt? The dual limb pocket with locks. NOooo Then it has to be the camo choices. NOooo The reliability or customer service! NOooo What exactly is vice versa when comparing Hoyt to Bowtec?

have you seen the new limb style? it surely isn't machined riser. and word is they are going to put better strings on their bows than the crappiest of crappy d75. the parallel limbs is the biggy. oh, and the new bowtech cam system may be borrowed from hoyt, but its a slaved system hoyt gave up on 10-15 years ago, not the new cam.5s.

BowTech Binary cam system is nothing like Hoyt's Cam & 1/2,, which is a similar copy of Darton's CPS system that has went through about 7 or 8 changes since around '97. Hoyt pays royalties to Darton,, or did at one time for Darton's technology.

BowTech's Binary system stands alone and I'll bet you'll see it for a very long time Bowtech started todays current popularity of the near 40 degree parallel limbs back in late September of '02 with the original Patriot. MANY companies have been producing similar models ever since so Hoyt's new release is simply saying that it's a smoother way for the shooter to shoot an arrow, just like BowTech did 4 years ago

Has anybody shot an 06 Bowtech yet ? I'm curious as to how the fast modules feel compared to the smooth ones. Wonder what the valley is like on the fast version ?

hey wwag, my neighbor has about a 15 year old hoyt, or older, and its got a slaved system very similar to the bowtech cams.

I seriously doubt it Some of the older dual cam bows had "hangers" that attached the cables to the axles inside the limb forkslike the Proline Riptide. I don't think anyone but Martin with the Dyna Bow had any cam that had three tracks for string and cables. Also, no one had a draw stop pin on any of there cams 15 years ago.

no hangers on that old hoyt, its not exact, but close to the new bowtechs. its a slaved system - i'm serious - its old with wooden limbs. it took me about 1.5 hours to figure out how to put a carroll intruder back together for someone after their string snapped and i built him one - guy said he didn't realize they would just break - after 11 years. talk about a pain in the rear, those hangers are it. that old hoyt goes together very much like the new bowtechs - but no, no draw stop.

In the past I have worked on a lot of bows. I don't remember ever seeing a Hoyt that terminated everything into the cam ( they could have had one but I don't ever remember seeing one). I know once they went to an all fast flight based cable system (AIM) they terminated the cable onto a bushing on the axil, the Game Getters, Rambo's, ProVantage, Spectra, ProForce all used that type of termination. There were several bows that used a yoke system that the cable terminated into as well, York, Bear, etc.Even the Bear Single track BioTech cam used a yoke for termination off of the axil.Also the old Allens, Carrols, Jennings, PSE & Bears used to use multple pullies along with the cams but they terminated the power cable into a bracket that was attached to the riser. To be honest the only 2 bows that I can think of that may have had a fully slaved system would have been the Ben Pearson 2300 Classic target bow that used a wheel system called AccuTrac (the original cam named that not at all like the modern version. This wheel cam out around 91 or 92 I would guess & was introduced around the same time that the Pearson Advantage came out, I just can't remember the specs from the top of my head to remember how it terminated. The Bear Delta V.....in theory terminated into thepower cams that where mounted on the riser....of course the Delta V is nothing at all like the Binary Cam used by bowtech.

Find out what your firends Hoyt's name is, I would love to know which model it is. If it did terminate into the cam as a truely slaved system it would be cool to see a few pictures of it if you could post them.

i'll get the name of it for you and post it. the pics may be difficult for a bit as i left the cord to attach the cam to the computer in charlotte.

Thanks, like I said a name would be great...it my jar something in my brain. A few pictures would be awsome if you could swing it.
