What's the functional difference between Cam designs? Why is a bow better for 3-D than for hunting?
Comments
Only thing I can think of is speed,let off
agree.the cams affect speed. I bow with cam(s) will shoot faster than a bow with just wheels
As far as 3-d bows and hunting bows go, you really don't want a long axle to axle length while hunting as it can become quite cumbersome in your treestand or blind. The advantage of a longer axle to axle length however is forgiveness, a longer bow will be easier to shoot, and less reactive to poor form or follow through than a shorter bow.
Cam and a half was developed in hopes that it would do the same thing unfortunately for the poor uninformed souls that purchased them there is no such thing as a cam and a half it is still a two cam design.
agreed, Same with the binary and PSE's cam.
So if a bow shop tells you that a dual cam bow will not go out of time, turn around and walk out.
I personally like the dual cams, and I will probably never own a bow without dual cams. Some of the dual cam bows out have a pretty harsh draw cycle compaired to a single cam bow though. But the cam .5 is not one of them, if set up correctly.
