twin cams are a lot more forgiving and are more quiet. youwill have to tune a bit more. single cam are fast and don't need the tune up that a twin cams do. the server cable will waer out faster than a twin cam on the bottom. i have a pse nova v-4 and that is my hunting bow.(love it)
i also have a martin jaguar fusion cam. it's fast and dead on accurate also, but it makes a little more noise than the pse. one time when i missed a shot the pse was so quiet i was able to nock a second arrow and make the shot.just my :money: worth.

now you need to add the hybrid cams to this. they are a new breed with a different power stroke and ergonomics thant he predecessors. the single cam had a great wall over the twin cam in my opinion and the later single cams became as smooth or smoother thna the twin cam bows. the power stroke or the twin cam was a little harder but the single cam had a smoother action to it. the new hybrids have taken a bit of both and given it an all around better feel from the drawing of the bow to the release. i shot my brother in laws twin cam for along time and it felt much harder to draw than the single cam but the it was smoother and i think trying to get the cams to turn equally is what i was about the timing issues of the older model twin cam bows.
today i think the hybrid is going to take over for the twin cam bow lovers and the single cams will definately their place also.
have to try them and see which works for you best. i am waiting for my new bow to come in from pearson it is supposed to be a pride which has he hybrid cams

Twins need a LOT more tuning. On an average, the twins are more forgiving, but the new mathews switchback (Solocam) is by far the most forgiving bow that money can buy. Solos are faster, and you have to love no timing issues!
