Choosing The Best Bow For Hunting White Tail Deer
The options for bows, arrows and the associated gear for bow hunting deer today has progressed by leaps and bounds from the time archery was first discovered.
The use of wooden bows and arrows covers more than 15,000 years of recorded history. In the dim past people learned to make wooden bows, and over thousands of years changed and modified them for use in both acquiring game and battling their fellow man. In the last 100 years more changes and improvements have been made to archery equipment than in all the centuries preceeding.
A hundred years ago, the state of the art was still limited to wooden longbows or wooden and bone recurve bows. The picture has changed radically in modern times with the new compound bows. Originally invented in the 1960′s, compound bows have totally changed the amount of options available for various hunting uses and have highly increased the accuracy and ease of use for the hunter.
Just as bows have advanced, so has the technology for moder arrows. Rather than the old wooden arrows with feather fletching used for the previous thousands of years, modern arrows are made from materials such as fiberglass, aluminum and carbon/fiber or carbon/aluminum combinations.
And the arrow heads or tips have evolved as well. There are numnerous options available, each targeted for the specialized use the archer intends to put them to. Heads are specially made for target shooting, small game hunting and for for big game or larger game. Broadhead styles themselves now are available in an uncountable number of types, each with it’s own advantages or disadvantages for the intended use.
When you are looking for a new bow, especially for hunting bigger game, the first consideration is the draw weight of the bow. This is the amount of power you have to provide to draw back and hold before shooting. While most modern compound bows can be set to really reduce the amount it takes to hold the drawn bow, the overall draw weight is still your primary consideration.
Also consider the weight and style of the bow. The heavier it is, the harder to carry during a long day in the woods. And shorter more compact bows are easier to maneuver. If you will be using a compound bow, the draw length of the bow needs to fit to your physical size.
Accessories and other equipment you will need is another area to look at. Many hunters use climbing tree stands or summit tree stands to get above the ground and to avoid being seen by the deer.
If you want to get started finding your first bow, research resources abound on the internet. There are many bow hunting forums where you can pick up great information. There are also pro shops for bow hunting and some of the larger sporting goods stores offer help in picking and sizing the right bow for you. Many of the pro shops also have indoor archery ranges where you can try out your bow before you buy.
There are also many deer hunting videos you can find on the web to watch and learn from.
Bow hunting deer is sometimes extremely challenging, but learning and mastering it is an excellent experience and very rewarding. Getting started is the first step to many future days of enjoying your sport.
