Mathews Tactic Compound Bow. This should be thought about when buying a bow for the next time. Modern compound bows come in a variety of different types of cams. While all of them have almost the same mechanical goals, each cam type has its positive and negative properties. Often also called One Cam System, or Solocam, these models are equipped with one cam, the second one on the top is just a wheel.
Generally, Single Cam bows are more silent when shooting and also easier to maintain than 2-Cam systems since it is not necessary to synchronise the cams. It goes without saying that not all Single Cam bows are the same - there are good and not that good models. Some generate extremely high arrow speeds and act rather agressive, others are simply smooth. In general, most Single Cam bows deliver high precision and a particularly good wall when fully drawn.
The reliability of Single Cam models makes them a respected and very popular system. The Hybrid Cam system consists of two asymetric cams, a control cam and a power cam on the lower end. Hybrid Cams require less tuning than traditional Twin Cam bows, but saying that they do not have to be tuned at all would be an overstatement.
Therefore the cams have to be tuned to the maximum performance. The majority of models with a Hybrid Cam system are fast and surprisingly silent. Unlike other systems with split cables, this system is equipped with 2 cam-to-cam control cables. Here, the cams do not pull on the opposite limb, but on the opposite cam.
This "freely floating" system allows the cams to compensate a possible imbalance in the limbs or a discrepancy in the cable- or string lengths. Technically, this self-correcting system does not generate timing- or synchronisation problems. Because of that, Binary Cams have gotten a lot more popular in the industry - they are very quick and easy to tune. Ironically, the current version of the Binary Cam, the "Overdrive Binary" is not a "freely floating" cam-to-cam cable system anymore, but a system with 2 split cables, which are mounted on the upper and lower limb.
The advantage is that the cam lean can be completely fixed. Although it now looks like a twin cam system, it is not Also often called Two Cam or Dual Cam System, in which two exactly symmetric round or elliptic cams are used.
When the two cams are synchronized correctly, the system offers a maximum of precision and excellent arrow speeds. This system, however, requires more time for maintenance and tuning than the other systems in order to score consistent results. By using modern string material it got a lot easier on the other hand, since these do not allow for creep. A small disadvantage is the slightly louder noise compared to Single- or Hybrid Cam bows when shooting. The majority of shooters still relies on this system due to its excellent precision.

Grab a bow off the shelf and look closely at the materials and workmanship. Are the limb pockets plastic okay or aluminum better? Is the riser cast okay , or extruded, forged, or machined from a single billet better? Are the cutouts clean and smooth? Is the finish uniform; does it seem durable?
Do you like the way the bow looks? Ask the shop owner if you can draw the bow, and then do so several times, slowly. Ideally, the motion will feel even and smooth, with a minimum of grittiness or bumps in the road as the cam turns over. The idea is to compare bows of similar specs.
Draw the bow again, all the way back until it stops. Now, how does that stop feel? Or a little soft and spongy?
Most shooters, especially hunters, prefer the former. From the back wall, start to ease up a little. Now ask to shoot the bow. Then close your eyes, shoot, and concentrate on what you feel in your bow hand. The less of both the better. Shoot with your eyes closed again, and this time listen carefully.
Some bows are noticeably quieter. Even some very fast bows. For hunting, the quieter the better. These are pretty simple and somewhat related. Basically, when you shoot the bow, does it feel good in your hand?
Does it balance naturally or list a little this way or that? Is it easy to get on target; does it settle there or jump around? Grip is highly personal, but thin ones are in vogue and seem to reduce torque. This number is almost always a little inflated, but it typically makes for a serviceable apples-to-apples comparison. Of course you want an accurate bow. Everyone does. But what exactly does that mean? In riflery, you can reasonably discuss inherent accuracy because you can put a rifle on a benchrest, shoot a variety of ammo, and pretty much find out what the thing is capable of.
Because when you do, you learn that almost any bow can be tuned to hit virtually the same hole time and again.
