What is the effective range of the compound bow?

The effective range of the compound bow is 100 to 300 meters.

The effective range of the compound bow should be determined according to the number of pounds. The effective range of 100 kg compound bow can reach 200 meters and the projectile can reach 300 meters. It was widely used in ancient wars. Modern compound bows are mostly used in sports competitions. The number of pounds is mostly 40 pounds, and the effective range is between 40 meters and 100 meters. The compound bow used in modern competitions has high precision and is not important to the number of pounds.

Traditional compound bow consists of two independent parts, namely, bow and arrow, and arrow is also called vector or chain. "Archers shoot arrows with bowstring". Bows and arrows use the principle of elastic potential energy of materials to combine human strength with the elasticity of objects, so that arrows can shoot at distant targets. The invention of bow and arrow is a great progress of human technology.
