Compound bows are a preferred choice of many hunters.  With the help of composite materials, limbs are prepared. The limbs are capable of handling high compression and tensile forces and in storing overall the energy of the compound bow. The strings and cables of the compound bow are usually made of high-modulus polyethylene. The designs of the compound bow strings and cables and other archery supplies have minimal flexibility and great tensile strength. This is so that the bow may transfer its energy to the arrow as durably and efficiently as possible. Compound bows also have some technical advantages as well as circumstantial advantages over traditional bows.
