A hunting bow is a very personal tool. What works for one person, may not necessarily work for another.

The only surefire way of getting the ‘right’ hunting bow is to try it out yourself. It needs to feel right to you. That's why we recommend stopping by your local archery store and try shooting different bows.

When buying bow hunting equipment, it’s quite easy to go for the name brands right away on the assumption that the more popular it is, the better. The other tendency, however, is that the more popular the pricier it gets. Fortunately for us hunters, there's so much competition amongst manufacturers, there's so much quality equipment available at competitive prices.

Mind you, it’s not the cheapest prices, but rather competitive. We still believe you get what you pay for so determine a reasonable budget and stick to it. You can find a good bow at a good deal that won't break your wallet. That is, if you do your homework right.

First thing you need to consider is the size of your hunting bow. Draw length is critical if you’re going to shoot at your full capability. There are several different ways to learn what your draw length should be. The most used is the Wing Span Method.

Stand with your shoulder and your back against a wall. With shoulders down and relaxed, raise your arms to shoulder level to form a “T”.  Ask someone to help you mark the two points where your middle fingers reach and measure the distance in between the two points. Based on a pre-determined ratio, a draw length of 26 inches is best suited for an arm span measuring 67 inches. For additional lengths, you can check out the wing span methods chart online.

A common mistake with beginner bow hunters is attempting to shoot too strongly, or with too much poundage. As with everything else, start small and work your way up. The goal is to try a strong pull with as easy a body movement as you can handle.

Bow hunting is a great sport if you do the right preparations both in your body’s conditioning and in the equipment you select. The preparation you exercise in the choice of your hunting equipment will pay back in dividends with the satisfaction of a well-executed, well-planned bow hunt.
