Compound Hunting Bows

If you are an ardent fan of sport hunting, you can relate with the frustration that one has to deal with when you have the prey in perfect shooting sight only to be let down by an ineffective hunting weapon. All that stalking as you try to make as little sound as possible, and trying to judge the general direction of the wind so that the animal you are hunting does not catch your scent can all turn into a painful exercise in futility if your hunting weapon is not up to speed.

This is one of the main reasons why hunters that would like to reduce the risk of error and increase their chances of a successful hunt look at compound hunting bows as one of a hunter’s closest companions. Compound hunting bows are the most modern and advanced type of bow in use Tadacip today. Each bow uses a levering system that comprises a set of cables, pulleys and cams at either end all of which serve to give the hunter a mechanical advantage that is not present in other types of bows.

The goal is to ensure the hunter uses less energy when pulling the bow while at the same time enjoying a greater level of accuracy and speed once the projectile is released. Even though the concept around compound bows is largely the same, it is always best to go for compound hunting bows whose limbs are much stiffer as these utilize the pull and release energy in a much more efficient manner.

Drawing the string in turn engages the cam and pulleys, causes them to pull the cables which starts to bend the bow’s limbs and thus store energy. The amount of stored energy continues to rise as the string is continuously drawn reaching its peak at the stretch where the string would be normally released. The storage of energy through the cam and pulley system is what occasions the critical aspect of a ‘let off’ that is the characteristic of compound bows.

The term ‘let off’ refers to the relief the compound bow gives to the person using it by reducing the amount of energy needed to hold the bow in position when in its pulled position. An ordinary bow would usually require a significant amount of effort to hold it in the pulled position and this can lead to shaking and thus loss of accuracy when the projectile is eventually released. Compound hunting bows usually provide a let off of between 65% and 80% of the pull weight. Further research into developing even better compound bows has seen some models reach an impressive peak let off of 99%.

Compound hunting bows also have greater resilience to weather changes such as fluctuating temperature and humidity when compared to other bows. The compound bows also have stabilizers and dampers that enable the hunter make accurate shots while at the same time curbing bow movement when the string is released.
