Compound crossbows

A compound crossbow: a powerful and practical hunting and recreational weapon

Powerful crossbows have their share of drawbacks. These hunting weapons are quite imposing and their string is sometimes difficult to draw. To overcome these problems, manufacturers had the good idea to invent the compound crossbow.

Their pulley system allows the string to be drawn with reduced effort and increases propulsion force. The compound crossbow thus gains major advantages. It becomes more powerful, its range extends to several hundred meters with more accurate shots. The crossbow user can easily reload it.

Even though it remains a heavy crossbow, its pulleys allow placing a bolt on the rails without requiring great physical effort like with a recurve crossbow. Thanks to its shooting accuracy, the crossbow is suitable for recreational shooting and hunting (where permitted).

The compound crossbow is very accurate and can shoot arrows at high speed and with great force. Generally, its weight is very well distributed, ensuring optimal stability when aiming. This weapon also surpasses the range of a beginner crossbow, a mini compound crossbow or a target shooting crossbow.
