    What is your opinion on best cam system? I have both a single cam and a dual cam, but which preforms better for you. Im a fan of my mathews chill x dual cam, but it does have a more aggressive cycle, and you have to get them tuned periodically. Like many others have said, I kinda think Mathews regressed with their "no cam". Has anyone shot the new wake yet? this is mathews' first speed bow, and I'm kinda curious. I like the traditional cam systems, but I just don't know about the No cam. Has anyone shot it yet? Is there any real advantages to a single/dual/no cam?

    Lots of folks have shot the NO CAM and posted up some reviews, just use the search and read on.

    also, I purchased a chill sex with a 6" brace height, and my previous bow had a 7", will I notice any difference? Does that 1" make a big difference in forgiveness?

    If you need to get your bow constantly retimed it means your strings are stretching. Are they the stock mathews strings? In my experience they are not very good at all. Get a good aftermarket set and that should fix it.
    And as for brace height, I've had bad with BH as low as 5 3/4 up to 7 1/2 and I was unable to tell the difference. As long as you have good follow through it should make a difference.

    Mathews has had bows faster for a couple years now.

    Tell me if I'm wrong but isn't the no cam really just a dual cam with round wheels on an offset axle vs eccentric shaped ones you normally find on a dual cam bow?

    I thought the same thing but the no cams are actually dead center. The AVS system is off centered if I'm correct.
