Has anyone ever used a Compound Bow before?

I am getting back into archery again after many years and need to use a compound bow due to a previous back injury but have never used one. What are they like to shoot? Are they as easy and smooth as people say? Does anyone know of a good company to buy one from?

Have a look at the Oneida, they are super smooth. As for easy, that term is relative. It is a lot easier to start with a compound bow, at the beginning you can go from zero to hitting almost all golds from 20 yards within a few sessions. The mechanical release, Peep Sight and the let off(to a smaller extent) made this possible. But to get to the top of the world ranking, it's just as hard if not harder than a recurve.

Many people pick a compound for Hunting because they can set the bow down during the off season and pick it back up again next year without much of a problem. Do that with a recurve or longbow and you'd be pretty much starting from scratch.

As for bow companies, other than the Oneida I mentioned at the top, some of the other major players are Hoyt, Matthews and Bowtech. You didn't mention a budget, but if the sky's the limit, you really can't go wrong with any of the big names in terms of quality and support. Post sale support is the big question, some of the brands don't have enough dealers around, that when something happen you'd be hard pressed to get support. Best thing to do is find a local archery store and try out a bunch of them. The bow's capability today is way beyond our shooting capability, so it boils down to how you like the feel of the bow and the looks.
