![]() In the United States, a mother weeps when she hears that VG has found that pictures of her daughter being sexually abused were shared by members, while the police operated the site. I’ve focused mainly on the Pro Series so far but there is a big change to the Main Line of bows that are available in big box stores.– My daughter should not be used as a bait. The new Prophecy is a Main Line bow that retails for $699 and has some great features. At 340 feet per second it’s the fastest single cam bow ever made. This will be a great bowhunting bow with a 6″ brace height, 32″ ATA and a draw length adjustable from 25″ – 30″. I’ve talked about the models that have caught my eye but there are quite a few more changes and additions to the line up. The 2013 Vendetta DC is still a great bow with a few upgrades. I absolutely love my 2012 Vendetta so the 2013 is even better. There’s also the compact 2013 Sinister with a 28″ ATA but still packing 327 feet per second! There’s also the 2013 Omen MAX that takes the already amazing bow and makes it a little better with addition of new technology and a still smoking 366 feet per second! Also the Freak MAX for those of you that prefer a longer ATA and have a super long draw length. I can’t possibly go over all the new models, changes and features in one post so I encourage you to head over the to the PSE Blog and scroll the pages of new info on the 2013 line up. Also PSE will be launching a new website soon that will make it even easier to check out this great new line up! PSE yet again delivers a great line of bows all made in America with great value at any budget.WHAT DO CAMS ACTUALLY DO? A cam is a rotating or sliding piece in a mechanical linkage used to transform rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. Fine! But on a compound bow, how can one cam be capable of achieving 340 fps, while another only shoots 310 fps? Isn't a cam a cam? Well, before we dive in, let's cover one basic idea. What makes a compound bow a compound is that it is a collection of simple machines working together to create a mechanical advantage. The cam is really the heart of that mechanical system, accomplishing several tasks simultaneously. A traditional bow really isn't so different from a simple slingshot.īut the cam's ability to manipulate draw weight forces is what really separates the compound from a traditional recurve or longbow. The further you pull back, the harder the bow gets to pull - not unlike yanking on a rubber band. Take a look at the sample graph below-left - this is how a traditional bow stores energy (oversimplified for illustration, of course). It's very easy to see how the relationship works - as draw length increases, so does draw weight. The relationship of draw length to draw weight is roughly linear. STORED ENERGY (UNDER THE CURVE)` On the two graphs, notice the shaded area under the green line. As you draw a bow, you're really just transferring energy from your body into the limbs of the bow. The gray area under the green line represents how much of your muscle energy is being stored by the bow. The more energy you can transfer into the bow, the more energy is available to transfer into the arrow when you shoot. Though both bows hit the same peak weight, the traditional bow doesn't come up to weight until you get it drawn most of the way back.
