How do you shoot a compound bow?
A compound bow’s limbs are stiff, unlike a recurve or longbow. It uses pulleys (also known as Cams) as leverage. Compound bows are more accurate and compact, as well as allowing greater velocity and distance. • Get a compound bow and a place to shoot it. A designated range is preferable, with all the safety and expertise such places offer. A field or the like will do. You should find out the maximum range of your bow from the seller. • Obtain arrows, which should be modern carbon fiber or aluminium based. Don’t use wooden arrows, particularly with more powerful compound bows, because the forces involved are much greater than with a normal bow. Other than that, compound bows don’t necessitate any special kind of arrow. • Never draw your bow without an arrow. Practice with a string or something a few times before firing the real bow, to get the feel for it. (Firing the bow without an arrow, or “dry-firing” it, will break the bowstring or cause the limbs to explode(not like a grenade)). U
