You have asked a partial question:
Which is better FOR ME, a compound bow, or a recurve bow.
Which is better for hitting a whitetail deer, in moderate brush, from a tree stand, at distances exceeding 20 yards?
There is no answer to the question as you posed it. I would suggest finding a local Archery shop, and posing the question to the experts.
The short answer to your partial question...
Whichever bow is right for you.

∙ 13y agoIt depends how much money you wanna spend on one. If you don't wanna spend more then like 300 or 350 then go with a recurve, but it is more traditional and sometimes harder, because you really have to pratice to get good. But if you don't mind spending more then go with a compound. Do you know anything about bows, and how old are you? If you don't know anything about them then a person that knows a lot more then me can help, and if your younger then you might want an adjustable compound, cause then you can change it as you grow.
Get a compound. Simply put, would you rather throw a stone or fire a rifle?
Sure, sticks and strings are neat and primitive, but unless you're planning to be Tonto, you're going to wind up with a dusty old longbow under your bed and a soar hand.

How much draw weight does a recurve bow have?
The answer to that question will change depending on what type of recurve bow and for what purpose you will be shooting. For example, if you are hunting and are planning to kill a large animal, you will likely want a recurve bow with over 50lbs of draw weight. If you shoot with less weight than this, you may only injure the animal and that would be cruel. Bows with over 50lbs of draw weight are more difficult to pull back and hold steady, therefore the accuracy of your aim will be reduced. If on the other hand you want to shoot targets and need to be as accurate as possible, such as in a field archery competition, you will want a draw weight that is under 50lbs. In fact 30 - 40lbs would be a likely choice. This will allow you to hold more steady on the draw and line up your target. The lower weight will be acceptable as all you need to do is reach your target, not kill it. Please note, this is in regard to recurve bows only, not compound. That's a whole other world.
What is the definition of compound bow?
A compound bow uses a series of cables and pulleys to increase the tension of the drawstring while making it easier (requiring less effort) to pull the drawstring back. A compound bow has stiffer limbs than a standard recurve bow, and will generally shoot an arrow farther because of the increased tension.
A compound bow differs from a recurve bow because?
A recurve has curved limbs at the tips. This allows the bow to store more energy in a shorter bow. A longbow is usually straight and has no curvature at the tip ends. And of course is longer in size.
What is the model of the recurve bow Allison Argent uses in Teen Wolf?

no.
What is better about a compound bow?
Faster. Easier to pull. Some things might be different for what you want to do, but not purely better. I mean, if you want to hunt, a compound bow is definitely the best choice. If you want to compete, a recurve bow is usually used.
Which side do you tilt the bow if you are left handed?
You do not tilt or "cant" the bow at all if it is a compound bow. You want to bow perfectly in line with the body. If it is a traditional long bow or recurve bow then you cant "tilt" slightly toward the riser which in your case would be to the left.
