I'm a longbow person because I value quantity over quality.

What makes compound bows better? I don't understand how wheels make it easier/more powerful

    Takes the same amount of effort to draw, but the energy needed to hold and therefore aim is substantially less. They normally refer to 'let off' in the specifications. 75% let off means that with a 100lb bow, once you get to a specific point in the draw, you're only holding 25lbs.
