Z or Rev cams on GTO riser?

[chappy]

Anybody ever put Z or Rev cams on a GTO riser? Best looking Elite riser to date IMO. Just wondering.

Ive heard of someone doing that with revs , but they lost a little speed I think .. With that that could have been comparing ( for example) the #3 GTO cams (really 29.5" ) to a #3 rev cam which would be 5 fps slower due to the DL differences . Alos I did some looking at the 08.5 gt500 riser and the GTO riser ( I have both ) .. I took a poster board and drew out some working points , took a straight edge and laid it into the shelf and drew a line while keeping the riser ends on the wprking points of the poster board layout . While doing this I took another straight edge and laid in on the angle at the end of the risers where the pockets belong ( the pockets where off ) and again traced those lines ... did this with both bows and wouldnt you know it they had the same exact schematics as I thought they did .. So taking that info and comparing the gt500 limb deflections to the Judge and pulse whcih are all eqaul in DW and limb deflections .. One could take any of those risers and and build a slightly preloaded 33" a2a bow going by the deflections for the GTO ...Im thinking of taking a Pulse riser with 1o5 Deflection limbs (70lb dw is targeted) to a 33.5 +/- a2a with DLS rev cams timed on the 3rd dot ...

Not a GTO but put Rev cams on my E-500. Super nice draw and I was getting 320fps with a loaded string with a 351gr arrow at 29.5/70. Totally different bow compared to the original K8 cams.

Do not know about cams but agree about the riser, love that art novae look. The SynXT riser is almost exactly the same look. The GTO and GT500 use the same riser I am pretty sure so you would have a GT500. Also, a Judge is a GT500 with a 6" brace.

PS - I am editing this as the GTO uses a 135 def limb and the GT500 a 105 def limb so something is different. If you put Rev cams on it you might have to reduce the limb weight.

I built a GTO with Rev cams. The riser isnt identical either. Its close but the arrow shelf and sight window is slightly different. Your center shot will be closer to the riser then the GT500 riser.
Same limbs and string/cable specs as the 500. Both risers measure the same for length. Pivots are the same on both bows.

I also built a GTO type bow with a Pure riser. You dont want to try that one... the load on the limbs let the pockets cut into the limb. Pivots are not large enough for that kinda Frankenstein.

I stand corrected ,,, My post earlier was based on the riser length and limb pivots in regards to limb and a2a comparisons, not orientation of the shelf to the riser center shot .

Rick just curious , what dw weight "reved" gto did you build ? also what limb deflections , ata and what were your string , cable lengths ?

Rick,
What was the Rev'd GTO like? Did it feel just like a GT500? Thanks.

Why mess with perfection???

Honestly I dont think I've ever heard of different cams on a GTO gaining much. I remember Rattler put Envy cams on a Goat and it didn't do much for it at all......plus it was NVG
