PSE AR and browning are all the same limbs... and most are similar eg. mathews/bowtech/AR/PSE/Browning, they use the same technology.
I would assume, with a parrallel limb bow, where the limbs do relatively little, the quality of the limb is no longer the most important factor, and cams etc.. come in to play more.
I like my allegiance just the way it is 8)

yeah pretty much everyone gets there limbs as sheets of fiber glass from gordon glass. bowtech, mathews, pearson and pse all use solid limbs, martin use a 3 layer laminate and hoyt a five layer laminate. what does the laminate do..... it sounds cool. but most of the coolness lies in your cam system.
now that wuld make a better poll which cam system, hoyts take on the hybrid,datrons hybrid or pearsons hybrid, the binary, the dual cam or the single cam?i like mathews cams, they are sweet and smooth. but my bishops hybrids are pretty sweet less agressive then the binary.

my beleif (debatable) is that when hoyt take someone elses idea they do it better, so when they make a binary system it should be better, mid you their newest zephyr cam is crap!!

very debatable dude. you make a statment then shoot it down your self. cmon whos side are you on? yours or mine? :lol:
anyways hoyt do make a quality product, always use excellent materials. however the engineering in the hybrid that hoyt use it not as good as the hybrids that pearson use, which are very much an improvement to the original darton cams. i esp like the drawstop. ROCK sold wall.

Hoyt ProVantage Carbon Plus. I have a set that have shot thousand and thousands of arrows. I never ever had one break nor did it shoot differently in different conditions.

Mathews use laminated gordon glass limbs, Pearson use laminated Barnsdale limbs. The others are a solid billet. :roll:

Elite have Barnsdale limbs.
I might have a combination to try shortly - Hoyt Trykon XL Riser - Barnsdale Limbs, WC Strings. Not sure on what to do with Cams at present.
Should be fun putting it all together though.

And what is 'crap' about the Zephyr cam? It's a spiral cam with a softer shape to it.

lol!,
they claimed that the Zephyr cam was the best of a Cam.5 and teh best of the spirals, having shot all three, i would say the zephyr has inherited the worst of both. pity they didnt release the trykon with spirals or cam.5.
in the next few years the Binary cam system will proabably make an appearance in most companies. (e.g parrell limbs, tec/ reverse tec risers)

Dude, that isn't an answer, you need to do better than that if you are going to slam a product.

lol, yeah
dunno if you have shot one, but to me it felt like a rough version of a cam.5 with no draw change. so in effect crap cams.
well thats my opinion. personally i love hoyt technology, the new limbs are excellent
but those camswere dissapointing.
