Preamble
Compound bows use a pulley system to enable the draw-weight (how hard it is to pull back the bowstring) to be minimised, or changed. With other bows, holding the bowstring taut makes the archer's muscles tired, reducing accuracy and sapping their strength. Thus, the major advantages of this bow are that they are easier to fire, and often more accurate.
