Default Legacy a round, soft, or hard cam bow?

I know this may sound like a dumb question to experienced folks, but back when I was originally trying to pick out my first carbon arrows I tried using the arrow manufacturers' online shaft selection tools. They started out by asking me whether I was using a round, soft, or hard cam bow. Just looking at the pictures of the cams they were referring to made me choose the soft cam, as it most closely resembled the cam on my Legacy. Afterwards, I was talking to a friend (who is none too experienced himself) and he said that you always calculate single cam bows as round cam bows, so I gave up on the online tools and just came here to ask for arrow recommendations. Now that I've picked out my arrows, I still have that nagging question in my mind, "Is my Legacy a round, soft, or hard cam bow?"

I beleive Easton reccomends that all one-cams be charted under hard cam.

Yes, the Legacy is definitely a hard cam. Ignore the pictures that accompany the chart as they were originally designed for dual cam bows....at least the pictures I have seen.
