The cam system found in Mathews HTX Compound Bow is similar to the one found in the Mathews NO CAM HTR Compound Bow. The name, NO CAM ST, stands for ‘No Cam String Track System.’
With this system, the string will run in a perfect concentric circle to deliver the best performance with a speed of up to 326 frames per second (read.. Mathews Z3 Hunting Bow).
It is also available in 65, 75, and 85 percent let-off controlled by the same modules that control your draw stops and lengths. It also has a smooth draw cycle. It is quieter and has fewer vibrations. Furthermore, the draw lengths are adjustable.
For this compound bow, Mathew Archery decided to go for a more traditional cut out of the riser, opting for a dual bridged riser.
The dual bridged riser has one bridge at the top and the other at the bow’s bottom.
The bridges aim to make the risers stronger and stiffer, especially when you are at a full draw (read.. Switchback Compound Bow Review).
Mathews HTX Compound Bow is a perfect hybrid between the Halon and HTR Cam Limb Pocket System’s riser technology that weighs a mere 3.99 pounds.
