Compound bows typically come with a variety of accessories to enhance performance, accuracy, and convenience for the archer. Here are some common accessories and their functions:

Sight: A sight is an aiming device mounted on the bow's riser. It usually consists of pins or a reticle to help the archer aim accurately at the target.
Arrow Rest: The arrow rest is a platform that supports the arrow before and during the shot. It helps ensure consistent arrow flight by holding the arrow in place until it is released.
Release Aid: A release aid is a mechanical device that attaches to the bowstring and is activated by the archer to release the arrow. It provides a more consistent release compared to shooting with fingers.
Stabilizer: Stabilizers are weight rods attached to the bow's riser or limbs. They help reduce bow vibration, stabilize the bow during the shot, and improve accuracy by minimizing movement.
Peep Sight: A peep sight is a small ring inserted into the bowstring. The archer looks through the peep sight to align their eye with the sight pins or reticle, ensuring consistent aiming.
Quiver: A quiver is a holder attached to the bow or the archer's body to carry arrows. It provides convenient access to arrows during shooting and keeps them secure.
Bow Sling: A bow sling is a strap that attaches to the bow's riser and wraps around the archer's wrist. It helps prevent the bow from falling out of the archer's hand after the shot, allowing for a more relaxed grip.
String Dampeners: String dampeners are rubber or silicone attachments placed on the bowstring to absorb vibration and noise during the shot, resulting in a quieter bow and smoother shot.
Cable Guard: The cable guard is a rod or arm attached to the bow's riser that holds the bow's cables away from the arrow's path. It helps prevent interference with the arrow's flight and maintains consistent arrow clearance.
Silencers: Silencers are usually made of rubber or felt and are attached to the bowstring or cables.
