Hi Hanno,

As a priority, find an archery club in your area, or at least buy a book or two. You need instruction and guidance from someone who knows how compound bows work. The bow is supposed to do as you describe, but there are losts of things you need to know before you will get the best from it. Too much to add in one single post. One very importand thing, DO NOT shoot the bow with no arrows in it. It will damage the bow and may harm you too.
