Back to the past. By far the most accurate bows I ever owned were before cams were introduced. They only shot 170 fps but they were so accurate. I hurt my shoulder a while back and can't do anything except shoot few arrows at a time. Good enough to make a kill shot, but if this is true, it will chance things like the Solo Cam did way back in the day.

Like many other things that 'should've been' a long while ago, this concept has finally arrived.
It really baffles me as to why the obvious takes so long to be realized. It is going to be as awesome as it looks. |

Round wheels used to be the norm, then double cam, then single cam, now back to round wheels. Not sure why they think they invented something new.

I'm sure it is a very hi tech machine, but yeah it is going back in a way in the round wheels. I remember going into bow shops when they had the picture of an Indian holding a compound bow with the caption of "many strings better than one". How racist would that be nowadays? I do see huge differences in riser length and limb geometry in compared to the old wheel bows, and some of the things they said abut nock travel I skeptical of because one of the guys that worked for me with I had a bow shop was a BIG double hatchet cam fan because in those days that was the fastest thing on the planet. He sold a lot of those and due to that we became were forced to become experts at building strings that would time those hatchets perfectly that would give a perfect nock travel both ways. I wasted a lot of money doing Hi-Country's R&D for them. It does look extremely smooth and using the parallel limb tech gives them a more forgiving bow with the distance between the string and rest being a longer distance. I haven't wanted a new bow in a long long time. I might buy one of these. |

I'm shocked at how active this thread is and how many reads.
I didn't think anyone was paying attention.

I want to add that with the single cam or solo cam the nock does do as he claims.
Another thing is that for a long time I wasn't a Mathews fan. I thought they were over hyped and wasn't impressed. I liked Hoyts. Once they introduced the Parallel limbs, I was converted and never looked back. |

Excellent tech thread on the nocam with a good dose of GD type retards to screw it up some. I'm gettin one if it shoots as good as it sounds. Have an original 29/70 Z7 now and going to look at new bows to see what I like. |

I think it's the solid release-feel and lack of shock which is so revolutionary - along with the smoothness of the draw. So, it's kinda' the best of both worlds, so to speak. The speed isn't really the issue. Speed can create torque - a major problem.
Supposed to be super-quiet too - another plus. As for the price . . . ouch! Still, as we know well, "you get what you pay for" and Mathews has been an industry leader for a long time now - apparently, with good reason (never could afford one myself!). |

Dont compare with the old wheel bows, not even close.
I test fired an HTR last night, all the good stuff is true. Dead in the hand at firing, quietest bow I have shot too. Smooth draw, really amazing feeling, like a recurve with letoff.. They want $1100 for them right now. I have an original Z7 right now so coming from a pretty quiet/calm bow. I'll be getting one next year sometime.

Had mine out yesterday - amazing how smooth and quiet the bow is... 
by no means is it a speed bow though...
