Had mine a day and sold it to another member at the club. I have shot the SVX since it's inception and decided to try the Concept X. I shoot 29.5" and #53. On my Prevails and Invictas, I would lengthen the cables to get a higher holding weight percentage, which in turn would make the valley shorter. That being said the Concept x cams, straight from the factory, were unshootable; with the let-off foot set in the 65% position and not much better in the 70% position. There was zero valley! When I put the foot in the 75% it provided enough valley but, no way in hell am I going to shoot #13 of holding weight. Now, I could have spent some time twisting cables up to get more of a valley with the foot in the 65% setting however, that would have added weight to the bow that I would have had to back out and by doing so, I was going to get a higher let-off percentage than the desired 65%. A guy at the club that has not owned a Hoyt asked to shoot it and said that he would buy it from me if I was unhappy with it and I told him it's yours. I am going back to my Invictas. A couple positives include that the draw curve was awesome and the bow has zero shock upon release. However, on another sour note the aluminum cam spacers that they now use, do not allow for shimming the cams perfectly. I did try the draw specific modules as well and did not see any difference between the draw cycle or holding weight. Just my 2 cents. Hope it saves someone else with my requirements some time and money.

No not at all. They feel nothing like the old spiral… or SVX. That’s with CDM and SPEC Amos’s.
What he is experiencing is nothing like what I experienced and I got mine the week of release and have done everything imaginable to my cams as far as setup goes.
I’ve helped 10-15 people purchase and setup one already… not one person has had this experience

Yeah that’s kind of standard. All of them are shooting 65% or 70%.
I’m shooting 65%, but I’ve shot all letoff options… including the tweener foot. I’ve also set the bow up with one mod on 65% and the other on 70%… retimed and it still doesn’t feel the way you described it.
The SCTR cam is the smoothest drawing target cam Hoyts made that isn’t a wheel… EVER. It’s not as aggressive as SVX even with SPEC mods, which I’m shooting. Not even close to Spiral.
Will it pull you forward at full draw if not timed correctly or you get weak… yep just like any other cam will with low letoff that’s not an old school wheel bow.
Again… I’m shooting 65% with SPEC mods with 21-22lbs of holding weight. Your experience is the 1st I’ve heard like this and nothing close to anything anyone has mentioned to me directly or that I’ve seen online.

Your gonna be fine with the cam. It’s nothing like being described… NOTHING like it. Trust me lol
Cams are still super smooth all the way… easier drawing even then SVX. Closest thing to it is probably the old C2 cam.
You still have to shoot a strong shot… but that’s kind of a given. 60lbs though… doesn’t feel like 60lbs. When i took mine out of the box it was set at 28.5” or 29” and it still felt like 52ish lbs. But my scale said 62lbs lol that was not it time and my DL is 27.75”
