Creep tuning is a tuning option,you are right but does make a 2 cam and a hybrid more forgiving,no getting around that.If the forgiveness is achieved through a tuning process or an inherant forgiveness factor,the fact still remains,it is more forgiving.I have found my cam 1/2 bows to be creep tuned right out of the box,so with them,it is more of a built in forgiveness factor.



The reason I say in most hands is we all like a different feel and some may not actually like the balnce,even though it is in theory,more balanced.


A hybrid can be tuned and still not be in time,this is the great thing about them and when those cables and strings stretch,they are still tuned.The reason I ever mess with my cables is when the feel of the wall changes.I actually have my top cam a little behind the bottom and this gives me that little valley that I like.


To me this is the real advantage to the hybrid system,they are extremely tunable to the archers needs and extremely easy to set up and still shoot awesome,however you choose to set the cams.

Oh yeah,maybe the inbred cam is the only way for Mathews to have there own hybrid.We all know they invented it.[8D]

Pdq , they had to give me 1/2 a credit in english to get rid of me in high school , My spelling is BAD . Yes I ment "perceived" ,it was easyer for me to get a good tune and broadhead tuning was easyer and led to tighter groups than I was getting with most other single cams with broadhead equiped arrows .

Ps. The original poster [somewhere way back in the begining of this thread] implied that bowtech was producing a hybred camed bow , if they are its news to me ?

I get real worried when I hear how tuneable a system is. It's like golf, there are people who have "played" for years, and never actualy played a single round of golf. They are working on their swing, or getting the best drive of the group per round, whatever. I'm only interested in shooting my bow. After 25 years I wish I never had to touch them at all. SO far I seem to shoot fine by simply ingnoring my mathews as it came form the box. That's not really a mathews plug, if I owned another brand, I would ignor it too.

Since half the time I shoot fingers, I have to say level nock flight always seemed like a joke to me. Some of the results with the fury cams are so positive relative to broadhead use that I may need to reconsider. Still that relates only to systems that are 3D perfect, not half-measures.

I would be interested in hearing one of the "pros" comment on the differences between a single cam that has a split string attached to a round idler and a hybrid system that again, from my perspective, has a split string connected to a unround idler?

I'll second that motion

Nothing as as good as a 3 track X cam system!
You would see the light if you shot one.
No cam lean, perfect alignment with no uneven wear on components, and smoother pulling.
Some of us have seen the light like Black Frog, Robvos and myself.
Others will sooner or later.


Sag.

I just put down the latest issue of Deer and Deer Hunting and have seen two new ads for hybrid cam offerings from both AR and Browning...I am sure others will follow Darton's lead. This MUST be the wave of the future. The winds of change ARE blowing.
I hope I can avoid the tornado!

Any drawbacks to this system? How about from a practical perspective?

I know the reason I haven't tried one. I believe with the shoot through systems, one cable is closer to your bow arm. Personally, I will not use anything that increases the chance of the string hitting my heavy hunting jacket. They appear to be more suited for target shooters or hunters who never wear heavy clothing.
