as a beginner this taught me nothing. the sales guy showed me all that stuff after i bought the bow. explaining what compound archery is and why someone would choose it would have been a more practical use of time
It overwhelmed the hell out of me. I just wanted to check out a cheap starter bow for a cheap hobby. This hobby wouldn’t be cheap. Shooting my AR15 with match ammo is likely cheaper.
Generally easier to use due to the let-off from the cam system. A 70# recurve bow requires the operator to draw and hold 70 pounds of excruciating force. A 70# compound, depending on the cam ratio, can be as little as 10-15 pounds of force to draw back and hold, yet still deliver the same power as the recurve bow. Since most people don't work their back muscles enough to comfortably hold 55-80 pounds of force for up to 10 seconds (and maintain a steady aim), they opt for the feather-light draw of a compound. That isn't to say compound bow operators are weaklings, it's just a different type of platform. Both require their own type of skill. However, the compound does have significant advantages due to the technology, so if putting arrows through the same hole is your aim, then compounds will increase your chances compared to say a bare recurve or longbow where you're shooting instinctively while holding back tremendous force. I recommend if you're new to archery, go to a range or club, and ask people if you can try their bows. Get a feel for the type you feel comfortable with, and go with that one. You can always buy (or even make) more bows later. Many archers actually have longbows, recurve bows, compound bows, and even crossbows. They're all loads of fun, and in the end, just enjoy the sport! Don't worry about "real" archery, because that's something only ignorant fanboys go on about.
@@theamazinggoldfish8713I also use what is categorized as a "Hunting bow," there might be some downsides but I'm thinking of what brands I might get my first target bow from:)
well that is worthless, look at a stationary diagram of the bow if you want to know what the parts are plus a few random facts like 50m that I have never seen a beginner shooting. it is not a guide.
This is not a beginners “Guide.” It’s a “here’s things we do in competition” commercial!

It taught me this would not be a cheap hobby. They should change this title. This looked like Hillbilly Wimbledon.
3:18 is it Saurav Ganguly? 😅😅
Amazing video very informative yet, not overwhelming

very cool video 👍👍👍
If you switch off the sound, it's much better.
And who did this help and with what?
That's so awesome
What kind of release aid is she using?
Isn't the rule states that compound bows cannot have more than 60lbs of peak draw weight?!
John Tam only in WA sanctioned events or as per event organisers.
No
Why do people choose a compound bow over a conventional bow?

Because compound bow is a much more effective tool than broomstick.
Hmm... I was hoping more for hunting oriented compound archery. Oh, well. Good video nonetheless.
I'm leaning target shooting,... with a hunting bow,...@ 70#,.....& High letoff (90%). 😳🏹 This may take a while.😂👍

Well it’s beginners guide so I hope we don’t teach hunting till you are not a beginner at shooting bows.
Four buses under fifty meters?
This is not a guide. Misleading title
SOoooo sad, no PSE.😂👍

How is this a beginners guide to compound archery when all you show is Competition? Jesus this was 2 minutes of my life lost…..
This is a bad video, It's almost insulting really. Shame on you.
Jesus Christ loves you
Beautiful video , but pointless
