Bowhunting Resources: Compound Bow

Choosing the best compound bow

Prior to about the mid 1950s, there were only two choices for people who appreciated archery - recurve bows and longbows. Which one you used depended on what you were going to use the bow to do. Archers used either type of bow, according to the personal preferences, whilst hunters mostly chose recurve bows for the extra power - better for felling deer and other large animals. However, the popularity of the compound bow changed things.

Compound bow hunting can provide a new challenge to the avid hunter who is looking for something a little different. The hunter who has mastered the art of using a rifle should love the thrill of learning to hunt in an exciting new way. The bow has long been used to hunt game all the way back to the Native Americans. It has been used successcompletely for hundreds of years, maybe even longer. But, it has changed drastically over time as Man has found ways to make the bow stronger and more accurate, it's design sprouting in many different ways.

In addition, the lightweight aluminum and carbon material used in the limbs, handles and risers, and the fabric used in the strings and cables of new age bows contribute to overall speed and weight reduction. If speed and weight reduction are the determining factors, select your bow accordingly. These makes of bows are better suited to those who utilize a release due to the sharp angle created in the string when a short-limbed bow is completely drawn.
