Compound Bow for SHTF

Next up is the compound bow…

This is a modern bow that employs a leveling system. That is, pulleys and cables are used to bend the bow’s limbs, making it stiffer than the recurve model. This rigidity makes the bow more efficient compared to the others, given that energy is dissipated during limb movement.

Pros:

• Reduced recoil and vibration after shooting
• Perfect for amateur archers
• Less energy needed to draw the arrow and retain it in firing position
• Comes with additional features – like dampers and stabilizers – that improves its overall efficiency

Cons:

• Regular maintenance needed for the most parts of the bow
• The low holding weight of this bow compared to that of a recurve bow makes it more prone to the shooting form faults
