dont haveto worry about timming. thats the big one (i have owned a single but never shot a duel
If you never shot a dualie then how do you know? Did you read it somehwre or someone told you?

Truth is, both dual and single cams are good, and they both have there draw backs. To get the best performance a dual cam has to have the cams in sync. This is not a problem with good string and cables. As a rule dual cams are faster and have a smoother draw cycle.

Single cam has to have the cam timed properly to get the best performance. Again, not a problem if the bow has good string and cable on it. Single cams usually are just slightly slower and have a harsher draw cycle.

These are just a couple examples. For a general hunting setup there isn't all that much difference. It still comes down to having good string/cables on the bow.

Having shot dual cam bows for about 25 years and single cam bows for about 8 years, 30 different bows during that time, I think I've learned a thing or two. I prefer a dual cam bow over a single. That being said, I'm presently shooting a new bow with Binary cams. Then I'll have some first hand knowledge about these things and not have to rely on what "someone said".
