How much better can a modern compound bow be than an ancient bow and arrow?

A long-range weapon with a sharp blade fired with a bow in ancient times. It is one of the important weapons used by China's ancient army.

But bows and arrows can't be kept for a long time, and they can be kept for a hundred years at most. As an important weapon in ancient wars, bows and arrows were eventually eliminated by guns. Since then, the traditional bow and arrow culture has become history, and few people can do it.

Modern bows and arrows include compound bows and pulley bows, both of which are made of modern materials and are generally used as competition equipment.

Bows and arrows in history are tools of war or hunting to meet the needs of people's production and life. Modern bows and arrows are mainly accepted and developed as a sport, in order to challenge themselves and return to nature. The biggest gain of participants is physical and mental satisfaction and self-affirmation.

Compared with the traditional bamboo bow, the modern bow and arrow equipment has changed a lot.

The arrows used together have also developed from bamboo arrows to aluminum arrows, carbon arrows, carbon-aluminum composite arrows and wooden arrows. At the same time, the ranging system of modern bows and arrows is incomparable to traditional bows and arrows.
