Modern Compound Bow for Sports Competition

The bow is one of the earliest catapult-type long-distance shooting weapons in the world, whose invention predates the history of human letters and has been widely used by civilizations in different regions. In ancient times, the bow was used extensively for hunting and warfare, but in modern times its function has been limited mainly to athletic competition.

The modern compound bow is a bow that utilizes the mechanical principle of pulleys to save energy, and is made of composite materials that combine spring plates, support grips, strings, and other components. There are two types of pulleys: cams on both the top and bottom wheels, or a cam with a round idler wheel.

Modern composite bows use composite spring plates, usually made of glass fiber and carbon fiber pre-impregnated with epoxy resin cloth molding, molded by hot pressing or fiberboard processing into the desired shape to achieve the desired purpose.
