==Description and uses==
 +
The [[compound bow]] is similar to the [[crossbow]] in the tools and machinery required but is less expensive, lighter and weaker. It is a good choice for a powerful weapon that doesn't use very much iron or steel.
  
== Preamble ==
+
==Real-life context==
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.

Description and uses

The compound bow is similar to the crossbow in the tools and machinery required but is less expensive, lighter and weaker. It is a good choice for a powerful weapon that doesn't use very much iron or steel.

Real-life context

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 it is easier to fire, and often more accurate.
