A compound bow is guaranteed to take your archery practice to the next level. The ease of using a compound bow means more arrows on target and a lower likelihood of coming home from your next hunting trip empty handed.

Compound bows utilize a levering system of cables and pulleys to bend the limbs. Through this system, the user only needs about 20-30 percent of the effort that would be required to draw and shoot a traditional bow, such as a recurve bow or longbow (1).

Compound bows also shoot arrows much faster than traditional bows. This means the arrow flies through a flatter arc and increases its relative accuracy. It also means arrows arrive at their target with greater force, which will improve the likelihood of a kill when an arrow hits its mark.

Every year in the United States alone, nearly 3 billion dry-cell batteries are purchased to power radios, toys, cell phones, watches, laptops, and a variety of other electronics (1). Rechargeable batteries reduce the need to purchase single-use batteries and decrease the number of heavy metals that wind up in landfills and dispersed in the air.
