Quivers
In an ideal world, you would not shoot your bow with a quiver full of arrows hanging to one side. But from a practical standpoint, it is the best way to carry your arrows when hunting on foot or when toting them to and from your stand. When you have to belly-crawl through buck brush and sage or climb through mountain laurels or thick stands of sumac there is only one place where your arrows won’t make my life miserable: on my bow. The perfect bow quiver must have tight arrow grippers. And, if you are going to use mechanical broadheads ...

Trail Cameras
Trail Camera Tips Mount your camera so it is not facing the rising or setting sun. Cameras facing the sun will have a couple of hours of washed out pictures while the sun rises or sets. Clear the area in front of the camera of any vegetation that will move in the wind and set off the camera. Don't forget to set the camera sensitivity for the target area. Fifteen to twenty feet in front of the camera is usually best. Be sure the camera is mounted above the eye level of the game you're scouting. Camera flashes from above resemble lightning and will ...

Compound Bow
Choosing a compound bow is a fundamental step for any budding archer. There are a number of different things to pay attention to: Axle Length The axle length denotes the entire length of the bow. The shorter the axle length the easier the bow is to hold and carry. But, what you gain in maneuverability you give up in accuracy. That is, a longer bow is more forgiving to archer. So, if you are new to the sport I would purchase a longer bow to start with. Draw Length The way to calculate your draw length is to enter your local bow show and ...

The options you'll search for should fit how you'll ...
