Bowfanatic,

In the past, my experience with twin cams was not the best. No problem with tuning and accuracy, but they were loud. I had a Darton that I just couldn't quiet down no matter how much vibration dampening stuff I put on it. My brother had a '99 Hoyt Striker II with command cams that sounded like a .22 going off. It wasn't just his bow. A friend of his, had the same bow and he finally sold it because of all the ribbing he took in a league that he used it in. If you want to know how loud a bow is, compared to others, shoot it indoors where sound is amplified.

As a hunter, quiet is very important to me and single cams seem to excell in this department. It has also been demonstrated quite well that single cams shoot more than adequately well for what most hunters need. I believe there are even a few pros doing okay with them. My personal belief is, the average archer will find a single cam with a defined stop (hard wall) more forgiving than learning to shoot the valley on a twin cam.
