    Yes.I refer to these as Frankenstein bows. If the bow is a split limb it would be easier as you might not have clearance issues. I have seen people take the riser from one bow, the limbs from another and yet the cams from another. Unless you are talented this could be a challenge. Meaning swapping out all the parts means something is not gonna fit. I.E. you will more than likely need custom strings and cables. Also you need to be able to find or make sims to ensure everything fits together nicely and the cams are properly spaced.

    While this is definitely possible I would highly recommend against doing it with any bow that is under warranty as it will most certainly void that. Also if you decided to go that route be careful. Many have not accounted for tolerances and changes in pressure on limbs and such and had the bow explode on the first shot.

    I've converted several pse single cams over to their two cam design. Some work very well and some not so well.

    I definitely figured it possible an see where many different variables could come into play but thanks guys I was thinking about trying it on a PSE. Would this make it a faster bow given the right tweek strings cables etc.

    If you decide to go through it post it up here for us to see. It can be fun and/or frustrating. Good luck either way.
