I did think of using them at one time. I decided to use two overlapping clickers instead. That meant I could hear the first clicker so knew the second was close. I thought that would save buying new points and the two stage clicker that went with them. Also the overlap could be adjusted to make the two clicks closer together in time, whereas the two stage clicker was a fixed item.

My understanding is if you shoot GNAS two clickers are not allowed. Is this true?

GNAS rule 202 d) states;

Quote:
Draw Check Indicator A draw check indicator, audible and/or visual, other than electric or electronic, may be used.
so it doesn't specify the number thereof.

it does specify the number it says A (so it's singular or one only) draw check indicator.

here on archery forum there is a thread on someone wanting to use two clickers like you describe.
Clicker and the Rules - Archery Forum

ED (judge extraordinaire)- is an australian fita judge who chimes in giving his opinion on the set up.

and i will add--- just noticed you asked about GNAS. i thought you meant fita so the link wont apply but i still think A is singular unles the two clicker arms are prom a single housing or something.

why don't you just take all of the fita rules it would be simpler for furriners to follow your conversations.

The rules GNAS & FITA only allow for a single device but this could be a 2 stage clicker like the Futura it gives two clicks but is still one device.

Personally if the clicker is set up right I cannot see how two clicks would benefit. Mentally you would have to stop your self letting go on the first click or if you were not on the ball on the second click checking to see if it was the first or second so it would take the fluidity out of the shot and give the conscious mind too much to do making a simple task difficult.

Some archers look at the arrow point as they reach their references. They get a good idea of where the arrow point is in relation to their clicker. The first clicker will do the same thing but in an audible way.
If two is illegal, and it seems difficult to agree on that, make the two into one by joining them permanently before fixing to the bow.
I did use two clickers for some time, just to get the feel for where the arrow was when I was learning.Eventually, I didn't need two and went back to one; then on to compound.
