Yeah, the past parallel limbs and the fact they have to make every other bow they put out a double cam. Mathews is good about solocam bows. That's one of the reasons I love Mathews so much. I am 100% with you on the Mathews thing. I shot a Bear bow today. That thing just locked into the backwall. It felt like you could just hold it there all day long.
What gets me about Hoyt is the Carbon Element is around $1300 with nothing on it. The bow used to shoot 323fps IBO, 7 inch brace height, and 32 axle to axle weighing 3.6lbs. The new Mathews HeliM IBO is 331fps, 7 inch brace, and I think 30 axle to axle at 3.5lbs, so the Mathews is lighter, faster and a better compact treestand bow. Not to mention Hoyt had fuel cams last year which were basically a form of cam and a half, while Mathews is completely solocam. I think Hoyts are overpriced personally.
I'm with you on the Bear bow.
