Compound bow specifics

Note: neither of us owns a compound bow, so we have a very limited hands-on knowledge on the matter. Still, we know whom to consult if you need help. Do not hesitate to ask us.

Cam – the eccentric wheel which allows for the draw force “let off”

Cable – connects the cams

Brush – a guide for the arrow which does not require an arrow rest. Instead, a circular opening with three sets of brushes holds the arrow in place. The fletching passes between the brushes.

Release – a small caliper-like hinge which attaches either directly to the string or to a fixed loop. A small trigger allows a quick release without rolling along the archer’s fingers.
