It's the ability to do it essentially on the line, in a minute, PLUS be able to tune in the window between shims.

I can tune an elite bow to three different arrow spines in the time it takes me to swap the 220 shims on my PSE. That ease leads to a willingness to constantly be tuning, experimenting, and ultimately makes perfect arrow flight attainable versus pretty good.
That’s what I don’t love about it, I screw around with stuff too much as it is, I don’t need it to be easier.

Archery is a very simple and straightforward weapon choice, once you get everything dialed in with a common sense arrow build, it makes the most sense to quit screwing with stuff, leave it alone and just shoot and gain familiarity in your setup

I don’t want that process to be too easy to change on the fly, because I will tinker. I think the cam/limbs/limb pocket tuning is cool, but I don’t think it makes a bow better for me, which is completely my fault

I would love to see Hoyt jump in the mix, but use the APA approach, and make it easy to break down the whole bow with no press, that would probably turn me into a Hoyt fanboy, because that’s my favorite system out for press-less tuning. I don’t see it happening, but it would add value to me

The bright side is that it's just as easy to change back. I think it lends itself to identifying a forgiving setup and separating bow hiccups from shooter.

If I saw the pictures correctly, this is the first system of the bunch that actually has little marks rather than me paint sharpie marking the heck out of things.
