A single cam will have a large cam on the bottom and a round wheel on the top.
A dual cam will have 2 cams one on top and the other on the bottom

....and in the case of the Cam and a half design, it will initially look like a dual cam bow but a closer look at the cams will reveal that they are not identical to one another.

Man guys, you are leaving out the easiest way to tell:

On single cams there is only one split-yolk cable (attaching to the top limb), on dual cams there are 2 (attaching to both limbs)
