Compound bows

A compound bow is a modern bow design that uses a system of pulleys and cables to increase power and accuracy. Its pulley system, called cams, reduces the effort needed to draw the bow, allowing for a higher let-off—meaning less effort at full draw. This design enhances stability and precision while reducing fatigue. Compound bows are popular in hunting and target shooting because they deliver consistent power, enabling shooters to aim more comfortably and accurately over longer periods. Their adjustable features also allow customization to fit individual preferences and purposes.
