The Compound Bow

A compound bow is a modern type of bow used in archery that employs a system of pulleys and cables, called cams, to reduce the effort needed to draw the bowstring. When drawn, the cams store energy more efficiently, allowing for greater power and accuracy. The design helps keep the bow stable and easier to hold at full draw, improving the shooter's precision. Suitable for sport and hunting, compound bows are adjustable for different draw lengths and weights, making them versatile and effective tools for both beginners and experienced archers.
