    What is the advantage to a dual cam, single cam or a no cam system.

    The no cam seems to be the newest thing but my 25 year old Kodiak 2 has a no cam system so there really isn't anything new about the idea itself.

    Are there real advantages that from system to system or does it really boil down to nothing more than personal preference?

    Hello? Surely somebody has to know the strengths and weaknesses of the various systems.

    I get the feeling that the differences are minimal and are more about marketing/bragging hype than actual real world benefits.

    I think you pretty much figured out the answer. :lol:

    Everyone is going to have their own preferences and reasoning behind it. I like Hoyt's cam and a half but no real reasoning other than they work efficiently but so do other brands designs nowadays.

    As far as the new No-cams...the concept is old school but I think there are some notable differences. Materials are soooo much better as are tolerances and machining methods as well as engineering methods today. I applaud Mathews for making a bold move and I'm betting others will take up the challenge in the future and expand on the same train of thought as well.
