    Twisting yokes is cam lean you want moving top hats and creating the top hat to rub to achieve center shot is not correct when you move them the top hats do rub if you've done it you'll know I just did it to a halon 6 and 5

    Really bud My results speak for them selves! Yours leave a lot to be questioned on the other hand can't even tune a bow that is easy to tune! And your a certified Mathews tech now? I thought your buddy just owned a shop where you get your bows at cost?

    Wrong wrong wrong moving top hats is the same as twisting a yoke to get a desired result. Now I really know you don't know what your talking about!

    No its not lol when you move a top hat all your doing is moving your whole string to one side when you move top hats you gotta move both sides not just the tops or bottoms you gotta do both when you you yoke tune you can get the perfect arrow flight and perfect tares all you do is move your string from one spot to another with a top hat move and to move top hats you gotta take the bow fully apart when yoke tuning you press and twist and done how is that tuning just moving a string from one spot to another so that means the halon only has 2 cam positions that's it left or to the right lol

    Again if you have to move top-hats around it's a one time deal! If your putting twists in a yoke your moving the string to the side to get your center shot. Same as moving top-hats around, but with top-hats your not adding a bunch of lean to your cam. Now if you got so much lean in your cam by twisting your yoke and your still not at optimal center shot guess what? Your going to have to buy a shim kit and shim your cam, there fairly cheap and I have done it a bunch. I'm going to leave this thread because it's real obvious to Me you don't know what your talking about. of times

    Warren is actually correct. Yoke tuning and moving the top hats do the same exact thing. It's moving your effective centershot. You've been reading way too much ArcheryTalk.

    I love the "Mathews is a marketing company not an engineering company". We can thank Jack Wallace for that line! Mathews is the best marketing bow company on the planet but they do their fair share of engineering. If you ever get bored, look up how many patents Matt has.


    Year in and year out, Mathews makes some of the most efficient bows on the market. There's a lot of cool stuff to the Halon line. It's the best two cam system Mathews has ever put out IMO. They've made the most stable platform they've ever made too. You mentioned the riser being a mission riser, that's simply not true. The new risers on the Halons and HTX are some of the stiffest risers made today. They're a completely different grade of aluminum than the Mission line and have the caged risers.

    I can accomplish (or anyone else can accomplish) the same thing with the Halon series bow as you can with a bow that has split yokes. They have different thicknesses of top hats to fine tune your bare shaft flight to the tiniest detail. Not to mention the Crosscentric cam might be one of the easiest tuning cams when it comes to vertical nock travel.

    I'm sorry you didn't like your Halon but I believe most that have shot them are of a different opinion. It sounds like the Hoyt is really what you wanted so you should love it!

    By the way, in a recent post you made you stated you have been working in archery for 10 years, shooting for 13.. That is different from the statement you've made in this post. Also said you work as a quality professional in the manufacturing industry, again different from this post.

    I was interested in what you were saying until I saw some other people shoot your ideas down. Makes it hard to believe what you say.

    Just another tip for you, punctuation goes a long way!

    I don't profess to being a bow technician by any means. I have been a Hout shooter and fan for many years. However this year I came over to the Darkside as I have a HTR as my main bow. I shoot better with this bow than any bow I have ever shot and the smoothness of it blows me away. I also have a Hoyt Nitrum30 and a Hoyt vector turbo as my back up bows. They are good as well I just prefer the Matthews. I never thought I would say that in my lifetime.
