I'm guessing by not taking a stance... Since they don't compare the SC and DC now and take a stance on which is better, I don't see why they would have to if they introduced an HC.

Bowtech has set themselves up as a company that listens to customer input and provides what is wanted, like this years bow line up.

I seem to remember in a post somewhere that Kevin stated they offer both SC and DC for those who prefer them. The hybrid would simply be keeping in this tradition of consumer choice. They are in a perfect position to do so, versus their competitors who have backed themselves into a SC only or HC only corner...

Plus, what the heck else can they come up with to offer in '05?

Well, there is this bow......



Good points RB. However, that eventually can get to the point where too many choices may do more harm than good. I agree that a hybrid choice would be a nice option but do not see it anytime soon. However, like you said, if enough people ask for it then......

This is exactly what Martin is doing (plus a shoot-thru design). I can only imagine that they will let the customer decide which they prefer, irrespective of the media hype. I find a lot of people supporting a particular cam-type. Is it because they chose the one they prefer, are just repeating what they've heard, or are they simply supporting the one they sell or make the most money from? It makes me wonder if it's really very significant at all when it comes to accuracy.

I have to admit that I had Martin in mind when I typed my earlier post. I find your last comment SA to really be food for thought. If one cam system is technically better than the other then why offer it? Just because the consumers want it? Possibly.

Guys,

Everyone else may think the hybrids are the best thing going but Ol' Sag isn't buying it. [8D]
With the hybrids, you again have the cable guard that creates torgue which stresses the limbs and creates uneven wear on your bearings, spacers, string, and cables.
It may be a small amount but it is still there.
The 3 track Wedel or Martin Nitrous X shoot thru version is the best cam systems going right now.
Even wear on components, smoother pulling, and greater potential for accuracy.
Hoyt will dump the cam and one half eventually just like they have dumped every cam they have ever made.
All Hoyt cares about is sales and coming up with the next big thing.
Their Tec risers, split limbs, and new hybrid cams are all gimics for suckers to buy. LOL
Can all you Bowtech worship slaves here on Bowtechbbs imagine how much more efficient your bows would be with a 3 track system ?

Pat, get with it on the new 3 track system for Bowtech.


Sag.



This is the way...

OK..which one of you let Sag have his crack pipe back? [:@]




Sag, Been there, done that, bought the T-shirt. No thanx. At least on a Hunting bow.

Jeff,

If you would load the arrow nock toward the string like it's supposed to be loaded, you wouldn't have a problem hunting with a shoot thru either.
What crack pipe ? []


Sag.

I've shot everything there is to shoot out there in this big old world, and right now, hybrids rule!

So Sag---I hear all this about how great the Tri-track is--- well I've shot 'em too and I don't think they're as good as my hybrid, so to settle this let's go shoot $ for $ , whattaya say? C'mon old buddy, let's go hit the 3D course! ( or field, or FITA, anything but indoor, I'll fall alsleep..OK, indoor too, whatever)[8D][8D]

All kidding aside, as stated many times in the last year, the Omega hybrid is to me the best shooting system I have shot to date-- this including Merlin's twins with shoot-throughs, and any X-cam or tri-track system.(yes, I've shot them! ALL of them!) Altho all of the twins and tri tracks do shoot well and I will still back them 100% as a great time-tested design, the hybrids simply shoot better IMHO, are easier to setup and tune, and are quieter--- cableguard or no cableguard. Solos IMHO don't come close to either twins or hybrids, been there and done that, too.

Bowtech will have them by next year, I'll put money on it. If they don't they'll be missing the boat. As far as being "faster", who cares? I thought that is why the Liberty is selling the best for them this year, because they got away from all of that junk and went to "smooth and accurate"?(very smart!) Some people never learn, I guess.[8D]

The only reason why companies still offer duals or solos along with the hybrids is money, that simple. Merlin was going to scrap the twins this year much like Hoyt did (solos are long since gone) but for monetary gain with those not yet convinced of the hybrid (guys like Sag! [8D] LOL) they decided to keep the twins around for at least another year. Other companies (such as Martin, Darton, Champion, Newberry and others) are trying to reap the same rewards of offering variety. That's all it is.

Those other systems will soon be gone tho unless they pull a rabbit out from somewhere with yet another new design that can better the hybrids.... and they better do it quickly. I don't see it coming tho, not for at least awhile.

But I do think we'll see many more hybrids to come in the future. Official prediction.

Bedford is coming Sag. Start practicing-- PMR? SPM? HC? FBO? Whatever you want....[8D] LOL.

Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

What took you so long, Pinwheel ? LOL
Are you really coming to Bedford ?


Sag.

Sag-

LOL, Been busy! Leaving for the ATA soon, lots to do!

There is a decent possibility that I may honestly make Bedford this year---if I can get out to practice some beforehand.

We'll see what develops, but I may make the trip if I can get some of the "crew" to go. I sure do miss the hundred mile walk to the back of the field....[8D] We'll plan it out as time gets closer. Pinwheel 12
