The only thing that worries me is the sensitivity of the trigger. I wouldn't want to point one at someone in order to intimidate them only for the thing to go off prematurely.

Well thats me totally baffled, My compounds set up and fire as easy as my recurve, and for the life of me I cant find a trigger on any of them?

Compounds are permenantly strung so could be more use in a hurry. High power compounds tend to be shot using a release aid which is like a trigger.

A right handed bow is held in the left and pulled with the right. Correct.
