I think compound better.
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.
She uses two different bows: the one she shows to scott in her room?, which is a elkhorn compound bow from crosman archery and the one she uses in the wood which is a completely black recurve bow, that one i'm not sure at all but i guess is a Bear take down youth righ/left hand or if not then its a martin xr recurve right/left hand bow. Both, the compound and recurve are for begginer kids. But hey, its a fantasy serie, pros will tell you those are toy bows.

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.

Well, I would choose the recurve bow, for menouvarability.
An example of a recurve bow is the Samick Sage Recurve Bow, which is a popular choice among archers for its versatility and performance.
what is a crest recurve bow worth?
The term "recurve" means to bend backwards. This term could be used to describe the actions of a highly trained gymnast, who would "recurve" many times during a routine.
no.
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.
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.
