Hello and welcome to Cheap Compound Bows. If you're looking for new or used compound bows from Hoyt, Bowtech, Fred Bear, PSE, Mathews, or Martin, just to name a few, you've come to the right place.

 

First patented in 1967 by Holless Wilbur Allen, the compound bow is an extremely new innovation when you consider that archery is thought to have been in existence for over 25,000 years. 

The compound bow works differently than a standard bow however. This is due to the pulley and cable system used and the necessity of that system. It is necessary because of the extra stiff limbs of the bow, which are more energy efficient but could not be pulled effectively by a directly attached string.

One of the key benefits to a new or used compound bow is what is known as a “let off”. The lets off indicates that as you pull the string and the cables tighten the bow, you do not need to keep applying significant force to keep the bow bent back. Therefore you can take a longer time focusing on the aim and accuracy of the shot. Additionally, it does not take a large or strong person to use the compound bow effectively.

Another benefit to the compound bow is the draw-stop, which is a set of small rubber blocks that provide a consistent place for the archer to draw back until. This allows for greater accuracy and consistent repetition. Accuracy is also increased through the use of additional stabilizers and in competition, the use of magnifiers.

The design of the compound bow can also be altered depending on your experience or expertise. For example, some compound bows have one cam at the bottom with a wheel at the top, as opposed to two cams. The four most common cam styles are the single cam, dual cam, hybrid cam and binary cam. There are also differences between “soft” cams and “hard” cams, the hard cams accelerating the arrow more quickly but being harder to control.
