Best Answer

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.
