Default Hoyt XTec - Hard or soft cams?

Newbie Alert!

I'm trying to use some of the online arrow selection tools and they typically ask, among other things, whether my bow has "hard" or "soft" cams. What should I enter for the XTek?

Thanks

I have to respectfully disagree. IME with several of my personal C.5 bows from Hoyt (including the X-Tec) as well as fiddling at the shop there is no doubt they prefer a stiff arrow for best groups/easiest tuning, and going off the medium column on the Easton chart is very likely to get someone underspined.

The only time I would consider using the medium cam columns would be if the particular bow I had was equipped with the XT3000 limbs. For Spiral cams I would add another 5 pounds to whatever peak is and go from there on the hard-cam column.
