What is the practice cam and how is it used?
The practice cam keeps the dump from being released and therefore keeps the bow from firing. Instead of an edge as on the half moon which releases the dump, the practice cam has a small notch cut into it. When the dump drops off the leading edge of the notch, a click is heard which indicates that the release would have fired at that point, but because the dump is held captive, the shot does not occur. This allows the archer to practice actual shots with his bow without shooting an arrow. You can now develop your whole shot pattern and gain confidence in it without ever shooting an arrow or worrying about prefires. There are actually two notches in the Zenith practice cams, one with a smooth edge and one with a .008 clicker so that you can decide which mode of shooting you want to use.
