Compound Crossbows 2026
Compound crossbows use a cam-and-cable system to store more energy in a shorter power stroke, delivering the highest bolt speeds and flattest trajectories on the market. We test every unit on a chronograph across multiple bolt weights, plus fixed-distance accuracy groups out to 60 yards.
