which type of bow uses wheels and cables and is the most popular bow for hunting and target shooting?

A compound bow is the type that uses wheels (pulleys) and cables, and it is the most popular bow for hunting and target shooting. It combines a levering system with cams and cables to store energy, enabling a let-off at full draw and greater accuracy at longer ranges. This design is widely preferred by hunters and competitive archers alike due to its power, consistency, and advanced tuning options.
