A 70-pound compound bow can kill elephants.

A 70-pound compound bow can kill elephants. Due to the design of energy conversion structure, the speed and striking force of the same hunter when hunting with modern compound bow will be more prominent than the traditional bow, modern recurve bow and straight bow he uses. For a simple example, the shooter Red Bean Blog uses a 70-kg traditional bow or a modern recurve bow. When he pulls the bow fully, he bears a pulling force of 70 kg, but he also uses a 70-kg modern compound bow. When the bow is full, it is only 20%-35% of the tension of 70 pounds (depending on the labor-saving ratio of the bow), which means that the control tension of the compound bow is only between 14-25 pounds (depending on the labor-saving ratio of the bow). In this case, the modern compound bow is easier to control and aim.
