Which type of bow is the most popular for hunting and target shooting?

  1. Recurve bow

  2. Longbow

  3. Crossbow

  4. Compound bow

The correct answer is: Compound bow

Compound bows are the most popular for hunting and target shooting due to their design and versatility. These bows use a system of pulleys and cams to store more energy and provide a more accurate shot compared to traditional recurve or longbows. Crossbows, while also popular for hunting, are not as widely used for target shooting due to their size and bulkiness. Additionally, recurve and longbows require more skill and technique to use effectively, making them less desirable for target shooting. Therefore, compound bows are the most practical and preferred choice for both hunting and target shooting.
