Range[edit]
Maybe a section on range. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.244.32.205 (talk) 01:57, 24 November 2016 (UTC)
Incoherent units[edit]
This statement from the article makes no sense: "This is usually around one foot-pound per pound / .3048 joules per meter (but can reach 1.4 ft·lbf/lbf / .42672 J/m)." The units of these supposedly equivalent values are incomparable. A foot-pound per pound is simply a foot, a unit of length, while a joule per meter is a newton, a unit of force. The number of significant figures in the converted values is also far too large, but that's a minor problem compared to the first one. CodeTalker (talk) 05:04, 9 June 2018 (UTC)

No source is needed to conclude that composite/compound are no longer interchangable[edit]
Compound bow is an outdated term to refer to composite bow. It makes sense on its face too that compound would have been used to refer to the same thing as composite before there was something properly called a compound bow. I don't think a source is needed for that. Sorry I don't know how to reference what I'm referring to more specifically:
″In literature of the early 20th century, before the invention of compound bows, composite bows were described as "compound".[2] This usage is now outdated.[citation needed]″
