By Teri Farley


A compound bow works by a series of pulleys. When looking for compound bows for sale, first know the difference between them and other types. An unfamiliarity during your search could possibly lead to a poor transaction and the wrong item being purchased altogether.

A compound bow will have much stiffer limbs, compared to other varieties. It will also have the string connected directly to the pulley system. At least one string will run from a pulley to the other limb of the bow. As the bow is drawn, this pulley system will begin to turn. This set of motions allows more energy to be given to the person wielding the bow.

One distinct advantage of using a compound bow is their resistance to changed of temperature. Quick drops and rises in temperature can often warp and distort the limbs of other types of bows. Their precision is more accurate, they are much faster and arrows travel a lot further compared to other bow styles.

In 1966 the first compound bow was created. Ever since that time they have only increased in their popularity. Modern day archers have many different options available to them, but most still prefer the compound version as their top pick.

A close inspection of the intended purchase will allow one to look for any problems. The bow should be the right size for the size of the person who will be using it. The user should also be able to draw the bow without problems. Lastly, insure the item falls within the intended purchase budget.

For children, youth sized bows are made. These also work better for people who might just be small built. They have a more compact size and the string is a lot easier to pull back on them since they were intended for children. Beginners, regardless of age, often find this the best option to start with while they are still in the learning process. Women especially have a preference for these smaller bows because of how easy they are to handle and use. They are great for use while building up one's strength to be able to pull a bow back with a much higher tension setting.
