A compound bow is a type of archery equipment that uses a system of pulleys and cables to bend the limbs, allowing for greater power and accuracy. This design enables the archer to hold less weight at full draw, making it easier to aim and shoot. Compound bows are popular among hunters and target shooters due to their efficiency and versatility. These bows come in various sizes and draw weights, catering to different skill levels and preferences. Many compound bows are adjustable, allowing users to change the draw length and weight as needed. This adaptability makes them suitable for both beginners and experienced archers.
