Compound Bow

A compound bow is a modern archery instrument that uses a system of pulleys and cables to reduce the force needed to draw the string, making it easier to hold at full draw. This design allows for increased accuracy and power with less effort. The pulleys, or cams, store energy when drawn, which is then transferred to the arrow upon release. Compound bows are popular in hunting and target shooting due to their precision, consistency, and mechanical advantage, enabling archers to shoot faster, farther, and more accurately than with traditional bows.
