have seen an ad on Ebay for a Darton compound bow...the end has split and come apart....is this repairable or is it a no-no?

RE: compound bows
I wouldn't want to be holding a compound when it breaks although that doesn't look like a very high power one.
I wouldn't touch it to be honest
If you can't strip it down and re build it, you don't own it

RE: compound bows
there are 12 bids on it already and given the above advice i'll give it a miss. i'm happy with my longbows, i just thought if i could buy a compound i liked at a reasonable price it might be worth having a permamently strung bow for short range purposes. if you get my drift?

RE: compound bows
That is what I like about compounds. There is no set up time just load and shoot.
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.
Maybe a cheap recurve kept strung maybe a better idea

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?

RE: compound bows
When someone says a bow is right handed/left handed,.. is a right handed bow held in the left hand and pulled with the right, or the other way around?

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.
