GET THE GEAR Bowhunting is a gear-heavy sport, and improvements are being made almost every day, but you need to find the right type, size and fit.

BRING HOME A TROPHY When people think “bow hunting” they think of deer but any animal that you can hunt, can be hunted with a bow. Find tips for taking down alligators, moose, birds, bears, caribou, turkey, fish and more; all the expert advice you need to go home with a trophy, not an excuse.

Whether you’re preparing for trip of a lifetime or just want to extend your season and improve your technique, this is the book you need.

TIP 125: TRY A COMPOUND CROSSBOW
 
Crossbow makers took the same design concepts used in compound bows and applied them to the crossbow. This style of crossbow is the most popular on the market right now.
 
ADVANTAGES
EFFICIENCY Thanks to their wheels or cams, compound crossbows store and transfer energy more efficiently than recurves do.
COCKING EFFORT Able to produce more speed with less draw weight, compounds are usually easier to cock than recurves.
PROFILE Compounds have shorter limbs, making them easier to maneuver in close confines.
VARIETY Manufacturers make compound crossbows in a wide range of styles, draw weights, and prices. You can shop until you find the perfect bow to fit your budget.
 
DISADVANTAGES
MAINTENANCE Virtually every service needed on a compound crossbow (including changing the string) will require the use of a bow press. For the majority of hunters, that means a trip to the pro shop.
WEAR AND TEAR A compound has more moving parts, which means more can go wrong.
HANDLING Because there’s more weight toward the limbs of a compound, some shooters find them front-heavy and less comfortable to hold and shoot. And when manufacturers want to increase the speed on a compound, they typically lengthen the barrel to increase the power stroke, which places even more weight away from the body of the shooter and makes the bow more cumbersome.
