![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The extra energy creates more vibration which adds unwanted noise, and more noise is the last thing that a hunter needs.ĭRAWING THE BOW: The high poundage of a Crossbow can make it troublesome to draw. VIBRATION=NOISE: While crossbows are getting faster there are several problems created because of the higher poundage. Crossbows have a much higher draw weight (150# is average) to generate the speed and energy due to the much shorter power stroke (14” is average) of a crossbow. Unlike the compound bow which only needs a module change to make the draw length longer, the crossbow has to be made longer increasing the overall length, making the bow heavier.ĭRAW WEIGHT: The draw weight is the maximum amount of force it takes to draw a bow. Like the compound bow the longer the power stroke the faster the crossbow. A person with a 30 inch draw will shoot faster than a person with 28 inch draw because of the 2 inch longer power stroke. The longer the power stroke the faster the arrow will fly at the same poundage. A compound bow with a 30 inch draw length and a 7 inch brace height (the distance from grip to the string at rest) has a 23 in power stroke (30-7=23). Power Stroke: Power stroke is the distance the bow string travels from full draw to the rest position. Speed is largely determined by the power stroke and draw weight. Articles will also be sited to back up obvious and not so obvious issues.Ĭompound Bows typically have draw weights less than one half of a crossbow.Ī 70 # compound bow is faster and has more energy than150# crossbow. We will address both the negative and positive of each to give you information so you can make an educated decision when making your purchase. Crossbows and compound bows are very useful tool for hunting, but there are a number of issues to deal with when using both. ![]()
