Archery compound bows undoubtedly has made a big impact on the sport of archery and hunting ever since it was introduced way back in 1966. It also changed peoples perception of bows and the sport it represents , and has made them much more aware and discerning when it came to purchasing bow hunting equipments in general. Prior to its introduction, competitive shooters, hunters and sportsmen who were highly involved with the sport didn’t know at the time how severely restricted their choices were where bow hunting equipments were concerned. They only had fewer choices, such as to either get the longbow and the recurve bows, or for others, the crossbow. With the invention of the compound bow, the archery world changed dramatically…forever.


The compound bow was invented by a simple Missouri-based hunter named, Holles Wilbur Allen. It was granted a US patent in 1969 and from thereon [url=http://www.officialmanchestercityonline.com/womens-aleksandar-kolarov-manch... Kolarov Jersey , the rest is history. The compound bow uses a leverage system that works in the form of cables and pulleys that easily bends the bow’s highly rigid limb when drawn. The limbs stiffness comes from a combination of composite materials designed to unleash the power stored within it whenever it was bent and the string is released.


The compound bow is strung in continuous loop that is either wound on one or a pair of pulleys or cams (these are known as single or dual cam bows). A cam allows the archer to easily pull the wounded strings and enables him to hold the drawn position easily and for a longer duration, for more accurate and powerful shots over longer distances. This feature is not possible with a recurve bow or longbow.


Compound bows are highly flexible pieces of archery equipment that can be adjusted to fit any archer of any type: from strength, height, weight, and class. Again, this feature is not possible with the traditional bows, which both have set levels of strength class when these were made, and that cannot be altered. Compound bows hurdles this restriction by being adjustable to fit the archers preferred optimal settings.


Compound bows are not only considerably shorter than the traditional bows , but are also more durable, tougher, and lighter due to its materials. These cannot be easily get affected by extreme temperature changes or fluctuations, unlike the wood being used on a recurve bow or longbow, which would be dramatically affected by the presence of moisture or lack of it when exposed to the outdoors.


The only (minor) disadvantage of the compound bow is that the strings are rather difficult to string or restring. One would need some special tools to safely and effectively do this, or a specialist to do this.

I may be overly optimistic, but the Chiefs have a real chance to make a run for the division title. After their 0-3 start, who would have believed that? But first [url=http://www.officialmanchestercityonline.com/womens-yaya-toure-manchester-ci... Yaya Toure Jersey , how about the Raiders going out and trading for Carson Palmer? A very interesting move. My take? Palmer is a decent quarterback who probably has a couple years left in him. Quarterbacks, even veteran quarterbacks, seldom excel in their first season with a new team. And thats when they have an entire off-season and preseason to prepare. In 1993, Joe Montana took the Chiefs to the AFC Championship Game, but did so mostly on the back of an outstanding defense. And in 2009, Brett Favre took the Vikings to the NFC Championship Game and posted a quarterback rating of 107.2. A very impressive season late in his career. But do you want to know whats more common? Last year the Washington Redskins traded for Donovan McNabb who struggled and finished with a quarterback rating of 77.1. The only season he had with a worse rating? His rookie year in 1999 where he posted a rating of 60.1. Carson Palmer isnt Brett Favre. Heck, he isnt even Donovan McNabb. Hes a mediocre quarterback who enjoyed his best seasons in 2005 and 2006. The Raiders made a bold move, but probably not a smart move. If they end up winning the division and making a run in the playoffs , then it was a fine move. If not, theyve given up two very high draft picks and have hurt the long-term development of their team. Now lets look around the standings in the AFC West. San Diego Chargers (4-2): The Chargers have beaten Minnesota (1-6), Kansas City (3-3), Miami (0-6) and Denver (2-4). Theyve lost to New England (5-1) and the New York Jets (4-3). Reasons for optimism: The Chargers have managed to start fast, but thats been more the result of the teams theyve played, than how theyve played. They still have a lot of talent. Ryan Matthews appears to be a legitimate starting running back. Reasons for pessimism: Antonio Gates has played little this season. Their schedule is going to get much tougher. And Norv Turner is still their coach. Prediction: Their schedule is going to get much tougher. And theyre going to need to play much better. I have a difficult time finding more than 5 wins on their remaining schedule. I think they end up 9-7, which is right around the record most of Norv Turners teams end up. A huge disappointment again for the Chargers. Oakland Raiders (4-3): The Raiders have beaten Denver (2-4), New York Jets (4-3) [url=http://www.officialmanchestercityonline.com/womens-edin-dzeko-manchester-ci... Edin Dzeko Jersey , Houston (4-3) and Cleveland (3-3). Theyve lost to Kansas City (3-3), Buffalo (4-2) and New England (5-1). Reasons for optimism: Darren McFadden is a stud, and the Raiders are second in the league in rushing. Theyve been the most impressive team in the division so far until this last weekend, and are a legitimate playoff contender. Or should I say, they were a playoff contender. Reasons for pessimism: The Raiders are ranked #28 in the league in total defense, an.
