What are the pros and cons of recurve bows and compound bows?

1. Recurve bow
The bow arm of the recurve bow will be in contact with the bowstring. This design can increase the kinetic energy of the bow and arrow, and can reduce the force of the archer to draw the bow.Recurve bows have many advantages in performance, and retain the simple, convenient and easy-to-use characteristics of ordinary bows.
The bows used by players in many modern competitions are recurve bows, which shows the advantages of recurve bows in accuracy and stability. Compared with modern compound bows, they do not require complex equipment such as release devices, eccentric wheels, and shock absorbers. They are moderately heavy and have better power. They are a better choice for archery enthusiasts.
2. Compound bows
Compound bows have sights, higher accuracy and are easier to use. It is labor-saving to maintain the full state. There are pulleys to accelerate, and the initial velocity of the arrow is faster. However, there are too many accessories. If there is any problem, you can't play it. Once it is broken, you need a bow opener to change the string for repair. The shooting speed is slow, and it takes a long time to do a set of actions from arrows to bows. You can understand it as a sniper rifle. The appearance of modern compound bows is very different from that of ordinary bows. Generally, the combination of eccentric wheels and pulleys is used to achieve a relatively high labor saving ratio. Therefore, modern compound bows are very powerful and the archer's aiming is also very easy.
