Bows There are two main kinds of bows, the recurve and the compound bow. The recurve and the compound bow have one main difference the recurve bow doesn’t have any cams and the compound bow does. Cams are what allow the bow to break over so that you don’t have to constantly have weight pulling on your arm. After a certain length that you have pulled your bow back it breaks over so you are pulling little weight. When you pull on the string you see the cams moving and that allows the string to still be tight even when you are not pulling it back. You want the string to be tight so that you don’t have a lose string just dangling around. That would make the string more susceptible to damage. Click here for more information about recurve bows.
