It’s up to the archer to stop drawing at the same spot each time before releasing the string. You can draw a 60-inch recurve bow to nearly 40 inches.
Compound crossbow vs recurve full#
An archer shooting a 50-pound recurve bow holds all 50 pounds at full draw, assuming the archer draws to 28 inches. The farther you draw the bowstring, the heavier the draw weight becomes, and it never lets off. For starters, they offer no mechanical help. These devices allow precise, identical arrow releases for each shot.
That ensures the bow’s power stroke is the same for each shot.Īrchers shoot compound bows with mechanical release-aids, or triggers. You can only draw the bowstring so far before part of the cam hits a limb or cable, which stops the cycle. You must do the same thing the same way shot after shot to be consistent. That let-off goes as high as 90%, meaning archers only hold 7 pounds at full draw on a bow with a 70-pound peak draw weight. Their cams or wheels roll over during the draw cycle to reduce the bow’s draw weight at full draw. Different people are drawn to each based on the bows’ looks.Ĭompound bows are easier to draw, aim and shoot. Just looking at a compound bow next to a recurve, you see the recurve’s simplicity compared to the compound’s advanced engineering. Others hang onto one phone as long as possible, and use few of its infinite functions.
They explore everything the phone can do, and always wish for more. Some people covet the newest cell phones as soon as they’re released. Must you have the latest and greatest in machinery and electronics? Or are you a minimalist? That depends on your interests and what you want to accomplish with a bow and arrow. There’s something simple and primitive about recurve bows.Īnd there’s something powerful and modern about compound bows.
