Maybe I should look into this new Retro/Throwback No Cam bow. Just having fun. I own a Mathews.flowerred.gif

Is anyone worried about the cable rubbing the cam and needing a guard on some of these bows?

Isn't a wheel with an off center hub used in this manner be called a CAM? A cam does not have to have changes in it's curvature by definition.

An eccentric wheel on a bow is a cam is it not?

Definition of CAM

: a rotating or sliding piece (as an eccentric wheel or a cylinder with an irregular shape) in a mechanical linkage used especially in transforming rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa.

So it is a round dual-cam.

A regular cam is oval shaped and rotates on a dead center. (Spin a football from its dead center)

The "No" cam is circular shaped, but it does not rotate on a dead center. (Spin a basketball, but off center)

Both will function the same, they just achieve it through inverted means.
