Default RE: Two cam or One cam

Twin cams for me. Shot solos on Factory Staff for 3 years, never got the scores I could with a finely-tuned twin. Walked away from both the Staff position and shooting solos and haven't looked back. Conventional solos just cannot be tuned to the same degree as a twin due to their design, and that's the bottom line. No-one will ever convince me otherwise, I've done too much testing. Also, some of the "target" manufacturers are going to be offering LOWER letoff options again for 2002. (YAY!, less poundage, same holding weight!) A higher let-off may be OK if you are holding on an animal for 15 minutes waiting for him to step from behind a bush, but it has no place in target archery. A higher let-off has more "slop" (less tension) throughout the system, and is much easier to draw out-of-line of the strings' natural path, causing more left/right shots. It also promotes "overbowing" oneself, as we all are comfortable with a certain holding weight, and to get that weight with a higher letoff you must pull a higher overall drawweight. This can directly result in torn rotator cuffs and other injuries related to this overbowing. Since I've gone back to twins, my scores have risen back up to near the point where I was before I started shooting the solos, and I'm not practicing half as much as I used to! To each their own, but this is what works for me. Just my own thoughts, Pinwheel 12
