compound bows
Levered hunting weapons
A compound bow uses a system of cables and pulleys to bend the limbs, giving mechanical advantage over traditional bows.
The design reduces the force needed to hold the string at full draw, allowing archers to aim longer with less fatigue.
Compound bows dominate modern hunting and target archery: She switched from a recurve to a compound bow for hunting season.
