Crossbow Compound

Compound crossbows

Compound crossbows use cams and cables, which makes them compact, fast and powerful. Thanks to the narrow limbs they are easy to handle, and modern models reach high arrow speeds with great precision.

What to look for:

• Speed and draw weight: compare the speed (fps) and draw weight (lbs); higher speed gives a flatter trajectory.
• Width and weight: narrow, light crossbows are easier to handle; ideal if you shoot a lot or move around.
• Cocking: a cocking rope or built-in crank makes cocking easier and keeps the string centred.
• Maintenance: strings and cables need regular waxing; replacing them requires a crossbow press.

Leading brands include Excalibur, TenPoint, Ravin, Barnett, CenterPoint, EK Archery and Junxing. Not sure which compound crossbow suits you? DAS Roggel is happy to advise.

A crossbow is not a toy: use it only in a safe, suitable place and observe the age limit and rules in your country.
