The compound bow was first invented in 1966 by Holless Allen. It has become the predominant bow used for hunting because of the high velocities at which the arrows travel to the target.
Today’s compound bows use a levering system conistiting of cables and pulley to draw back the bow limbs. The bow limbs are stiffer that your standard recurve bow which gives the arrow much more thrust when released. This is why the majority of hunter use compound bows when taking game down.
A cam and wheel at the ends of the bows limb make up the most common configuration. Bow eccentrics is the use of the cam in a specific manner and the four most common types are single cam, hybrid cam, dual cam and binary cam.
