easier cam?

by Anatine Duo Mon Mar 30, 2015 11:30 am

Hey I just saw the Matthews NO-Cam and thought it would be great for homebuilders. I always wondered if it was feasible, since I'd rather file out and tune a small cam and turn a large round wheel than a large cam and a small cam and try to match them.

Turns out it works!

Ya , funny thing ,this is supposed to be new.As an archer I shot round wheels 40 years ago. Same thing only smaller. Remember the saying ,You don't need to reinvent the wheel.Well this proves a new one is born every minute.

There is even easier way, simply use straight levers.
easier cam? J_rtd1a

Just something quickly put together for testing.
This works. Flat F/D-curve and noticeable let-off.
Shoots well too.

I will not have time to develop this any further in foreseeable future.
But if anybody else wants to, no patent or copyright claimed. - Feel free to exploit.
