I used to have PSE Citation II with Vector 5 cams.

They are definitely a cam, but are of the older 'soft' and slow type. Very nice to shoot though.

PSE called then 'eccentrics'.

The outer part of the cam is round, but the axle is off-centre giving the 'cam' effect. This part of the cam feeds out the string and the offset compresses the bow limbs as it rotates. The inner part of the cam is the true cam part. This pulls on the cables as the rotation occurs and also pulls on the limbs.

If you PM me I can send some pictures of the vector 5 and a page from the old PSE catalogue that gives some info.
