There is basically the same twin/solo debate going on on another messageboard, with some quite interesting reading. I picked this response out from Geroge Ryals 4, who for those that do not know is a premier archer and designer/manager for Martin Archery, who offers both solos and twins to the Archery community--

"The first three times a single cam system was introduced to the archery community, advertisers did not tout it as a fix for a problem. (DynaBo, Spartan, and Unistar) It was introduced as an option, not a fix for something real or imagined.

This last time it was re-introduced, it was advertised as a fix for a mysterious problem. Customers were given the impression that you did not have to tune them and that the bow that they were currently using was flawed. In reality they come with their own set of problems that you have to contend with. When I first saw the ads and the bows I thought the claims were outlandish and that it would never fly. Well that was my first lesson in the power of advertising.

Those familiar with the Creep Tune method will agree that wheel timing is no more a hassle than adjusting a nock set. However, unsuspecting bow hunters, who were completely unaware of wheel timing, were told that their bows were no good. They were also unaware of the problems that a 100+ string would cause, the affect it has on nock sets and peeps, or what happens when you have a different dynamic action on each end of the bow

Here is a little food for thought. If the single cam system is advertised to be the best and a replacement for two cams, why does every other manufacturer still offer two cam systems? Second, if there are real problems with two cam systems, why haven’t the two cam manufactures released a fix for the problem each year like the single cam pushers have for their systems?
