Hunting Arrows

There are two things to consider when choosing the right arrows for bowhunting - what arrow weight you want to shoot, and how stiff the shaft needs to be to complement your draw weight and arrow length. Not every bowhunter wants the lightest and fastest arrows - shooting feather-weights can actually damage your bow. Light arrows absorb as much of the bow's energy as heavier arrows do, so if your arrows are consistently too light, the vibrations can damage your bow.
According to The Archery Manufacturer's Organization (AMO), the standard minimum arrow weight should be roughly six grains for lighteach pound of your bow's maximum draw weight (in other words, a 60-pound bow should take a 360-grain arrow). A heavy modern hunting arrow weight about 8 to 10 grains per pound - if you're interested in speed, you can go as light a 5 grains per pound, but that should be as light as you go.
Shaft stiffness is important because of the pull-and-release manner in which arrows leave the bow. With a finger-released arrow, it has to go through a series of oscillations called "paradox" that begins when the string leaves your fingers - bending of the arrow's shaft has to be timed perfectly so it passes around the bow without hitting the riser. So, to achieve good flight, your arrow shafts have to be an exact match for your bow and your release style. It's different for mechanical-release bows - there's less flex, and it's almost all confined to an up-and-down movement, so you you can get away with a wider range of shaft stiffness and still get good arrow flight.
Point weight is also an important element of choosing the correct arrow stiffness, especially if you release with fingers. Determine what broadhead weight you'll be using to hunt with before buying your arrows, and then get some off-season practice with field points of the same weight. If you'll be hunting whitetail deer, you'll be shooting from an average 20 yards, a distance that a mid-weight arrow can handle easily. A heavier arrow will require more accuracy on your part as it's slower, but you'll have a quieter shoot with maximum penetration. Lightweight arrows are great for target practice, but unless you have keen eyesight and regularly shoot at 25 yards or more, they're best left alone. Choosing the right arrows for bowhunting is a matter of style, what kind of bow you have, and simple trial-and-error.

What do you think of the moral of this story?
March 8, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
Here is a story that i was told a couple of days ago:
There was a king who had a right hand man. The king would always go out with his friend for hunting.
His friend would ALWAYS say on every occasion "thats good Allah knows best" So one day when they went hunting, the friend loaded up the bow and arrow wrong........so when the king picked up the cross-bow, it went off and took of the kings thumb.
The king was VERY angry and became angry with his friend and his friend replied "thats good Allah knows best" So the king threw him in prison....saying what do you mean thats good. the friend would serve a jail term of 1 year.
After half a year the king decided to go hunting (he had no1 else with him, because he would only go with his friend) so on the journey he took a wrong turn. Cannibals caputred him and were about to eat him when they saw his thumb missing they were superstitious and would only eat who ppl. so they let him go
The king realised his freinds words and said to his friend im sorry for locking you up in jail. to which the friend replied "its good Allah knows best" the king became cofused and sai
"How is it good a wasted half a year of your life"
The freind replied.....think about it had you taken me with you to that hunting trip, they would have left you because of your missing thumb but they would have eaten me instead.
So whatever happens to you that seems bad know that it is good inshaAllah and Allah knows best!!

WHA?Does this sound any better?
March 4, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
From Outdoorlife.com
The WHA just announced it has dropped its absurd plan to dart-drug deer, and will now switch to a “traditional harvest format” just in time for its first tournament competitions this October. In other words the WHA’s 8 competitors will do what real hunters do—shoot to kill deer.
September 2006
The organization says it has also altered the competition’s big prize money structure, though they have yet to provide details on that.
The first tournaments are still planned for Lost Arrow Ranch in Gladwin, MI. The WHA says the use of the 1,000-acre preserve allows for a "controlled competition" and ensures that the tournaments will not adversely impact wild game populations or infringe upon hunting opportunities on public and private land for regularly licensed hunters.
I agree fenced hunting is not hunting....their idea is still crap....

Native American Group Name: Shoshone Indians (Also known as the Snake Nation)
Culture: In the culture of the Shoshone Indians, all Shoshone men and women must cut their hair at the neck in a show of mourning. The Shoshone Indians have a rich culture to teach their children the history, language, and values of their ancestors. Every two years, the Shoshone Indians elected a new leader for the tribe. The Shoshones also hold cultural ceremonies, very similar to dances.
.
Clothing: It was a culture that Shoshone clothing changed with the seasons, ranging from a simple a Breechcloth held on by a belt fastened around the waist for the men and aprons for the women to rabbit fur pants and jackets, and larger animal hides used as capes and coverings.The Shoshone indians wore clothing made of deer hides, and in very cold weather they wore robes made of buffalo.
Language: The Shoshonians spoke a language today called, Shoshoni. It is a Uto-Aztecan language of the western plateau. Shoshone is spoken across such a broad geographical region that it forms a 'dialect chain'--speakers of one Shoshone dialect can always understand the dialects of their neighbors, but not necessarily a more distant dialect. Taken together there are more than a thousand speakers of Shoshone dialects, which are still being learned by children today.
Art: Shoshone beadwork is well known on the contemporary powwow circuit, but the talents of numerous Shoshone artisans also includes basketry, games and toys, tools and weapons, hide paintings, and parfleche envelopes. As in all cultures, their art reflected their environment and the contacts they had with other cultures. Thus, art forms, materials, colors, patterns, etc., all changed and developed over time.
Food: The Shoshone diet included groundhog, jack rabbit, and other small mammals. Sometimes they had bird eggs. They used over 100 different types of seeds and plants. After the Shoshone got horses, they began hunting large game, such as deer, antelope, mountain sheep and bears. Because of horses they could go further to dig camas and other roots. The Shoshone-Bannock almost hunted the southeastern-Idaho bison to the point of extinction. When they ran out of bison in Idaho, they went to Wyoming and Montana to hunt bison. The Shoshone hunted mostly in the spring and the summer. Women gathered berries, roots, nuts, seeds, and insects. The men hunted for deer, squirrels, antelope, rabbits and water birds. When they hunted antelope and rabbits, they would surround the animals and herd them into nets to kill them. The Shoshone used snares and spring-pole traps, and pitfalls to trap animals. They used wooden and horn-bow and arrows to kill larger animals. Their arrows were made of obsidian.
Religion: The basis of the Shoshone religion was a belief in dreams, visions, and a Creator; and fostered individual self-reliance, courage, and the wisdom to meet life's problems in a difficult environment. Most of the Shoshone ceremonies are dances similar to the Great Basin Round Dances. The Bannocks shared the warfare practices of the Plains Indians, which included counting coups and taking scalps of enemies. They adopted the Scalp Dance from the plains tribes and during the reservation period began dancing the Sun Dance. Today the Sun Dance, a very important event especially to the Shoshone tribes of today, is held each summer.
Terrain: The Shoshone occupied what is today know as the states of California, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming, although most of them seemed to be settled in the Snake river area in Idaho. Historical documents from the Lewis & Clark expedition often refer to the Shoshone as the "Snake Indians"; the actual name "Shoshone" means "The Valley People" . The name means “inland”, or "in the valley". The terrain varied, but it went from high snow covered mountains in the northern Rockies, up to the flat land and valleys, where herds of buffalo's awaited their extinction. It was typically rainy, making the soil more fertile, but still, flat.

Question about elastic potential energy? Help PLEASE?
February 24, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
Sorry, I'm REAL bad with these sorts of problems...
For a particular hunting bow, the spring constant for the bow is 700 N/m. The arrow has a mass of 0.91 kg. How far must the string be drawn back to give the arrow an initial speed of 50 m/s? If the arrow is aimed straight up, how high will it reach?
Any help is greatly appreciated. =)

i'm fifteen and have recently taken up an interest in archery. I would love to be able to do this. I want something with a little challenge that will keep me occupied throughout. I want to use a traditional bow. I thought longbows would be cool, but i can't find anywhere to buy them from. At dicks sporting goods they have traditional ones. but they are expensive!! And i haven't even looked at the prices for arrows or anything yet!! so, if someone could provide me with the hunting laws. and other information such as time and practice. would be greatly appreciated
