Split limb technology helps to alleviate the problem of limbs cracking at the "V" where the axle attaches, but they are not without their share of problems. Most notably uneven wear of the limbs, causing them to have a "bent" look and adversely effecting performance.
Soft cams are about the slowest cams many hunters opt for. They have many of the advantages of a round wheel, but they generate enough speed to make them adequate for many hunting applications. They are still quiet, stay tuned relatively well and are forgiving even for finger shooters.
Hard cams (or hatchet cams as they are sometimes called) are the fastest of the dual cams. While they create blistering arrow speeds, they have several major disadvantages for the hunter. First off, they are harder to keep tuned than any of the other cams, due to their propensity to stretch strings and buss cables. They also can be loud and need to be dampened considerably. They are also the hardest to shoot accurately and the least forgiving. However, if you are an expert archer, and enjoy tuning a bow, the speed may outweigh the inconvenience of occasional tuning.
Solo cams (or single cams) are a single hard cam matched to a round idler wheel. Their popularity has been such a success that virtually every bow manufacturer today produces a solo cam bow. They are very easy to tune since there is only one cam that rolls over. They are also extremely quiet and as fast as any dual cam on the market.

Compound Bow Limbs

Both types of limbs have advantages and disadvantages. Solid fiberglass limbs are inherently more durable than two-piece limbs. Nevertheless, split limbs not only reduce weight, but also transfer and distribute energy from the bow to the arrow more evenly. Some archers appreciate the appeal of a split-limb bow while others favor the traditional shape of solid limbs.
