The sport of archery is dynamic in the applications and use of equipment. There are so many different styles of recreational, tournament, and hunting needs that each archer must make personalized choices. There are features that apply to each application and choices must be made according to the uses of the particular archer. After comparing single cam and two cam bows, there are many added benefits to single cam bows that two cam bows simply do not have. The most obvious of these is eliminating the problem of cam timing.
Single cams are also quieter, a huge benefit for bowhunters.
Single cams hold and aim better, meaning at full draw the cam rests steady versus a two cam bow where the two cams can fight against one another. The knock on single cam bows used to be that they where slower than two cams, but the new single cam bows are just as quick, and in some cases quicker than two cam bows. An arrow with a field point has only the fletching to steer the arrow. When a fixed blade broadhead is added to the front of the arrow, you are adding wings to the arrow. In many cases, the broadhead begins to steer the arrow instead of the fletching.
