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.

Why do olympic archers let their bow fall forward after releasing the arrow?
March 20, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
I've done bow hunting for years with a simple heavy recurve and I've never been into compounds, stabilizers or modern sight systems.
I do however stop to watch modren target archery with all the attachments when the olympics are on. I can understand the sights and stabilizers and I understand the archers paradox. But after the arrow has taken flight the archer follows through by letting their bow fall forward. As there are no Archery clubs in this part of the world I like to know how dose this action benifit?

Stolen items? What could I do?
March 19, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
Ok. I feel really badly about this so I figured I'd ask to see what I could possibly do.
My step dad loves hunting and last year purchased a new deer stand and a bow and arrow. The stand was about 250$ and the bow was around 500$.
Well, he went hunting about two weekends ago, came home put his bow and stand in his shop in their normal spots and left them.
He wanted to go hunting again this weekend and had gotten everything ready, then went to get his bow and stand and found both had been stolen out of our shop. He's somewhat forgetful and didn't lock our shop door up, so they were probably pretty easily taken. I feel even worse though, because he was diagnosed with liver cancer a month ago and our doctor said he may only have 6 months to live and hunting is just one of his things he does for "his" time....If I could I would go buy him a new stand a new bow right now, but I'm so broke. Is there any type of report I could fill out? Could I do anything legally as far as them looking for the stolen items? Would it be a good idea to go to some of our local pawn shops to see if maybe someone stole them to pawn them for money?

Filed under Hunting Arrows
ive been having the same dream for about a week now.
everytime the dream starts off with a group of randompeople i go to school with in a car driving up a random driving. while we are in the car im always clinging to someone new. as we get to the top of the driveway these automatic lights come on and we get out of the car. then these crazy people come out and hunt us, with a bow and arrow, the first few nights only one person survived, lately only one person has died. what could this dream mean?
btw i already asked this question but got stupid answers so im asking it again(: thanksss.
when i said up a random driving, i meant driveway, haha, whoops.

Somebody help, I have massive arterial bleeding in the woods. What do I do?
March 18, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
Ok I don't have much time. I went hunting, brought my computer and still have access to internet but my phone got wet so I can't call people for help. I have been shot in my femoral artery with an arrow and have massive bleeding. I have few basic hunting equipment. What do I do?
I have a great ISP provider. So I am pressing down on my femoral artery and have stopped major bleeding. I am still bleeding bad though and...oh crap...there is something in the bush in front of me.
The thing in the bush was a rattlesnake. It struck me in my arm. I was able to slice it with my knife but not before it bit me. Now I'm bleeding uncontrollably AND I'm poisoned. Help! And to LT: I do have a life. But for how long?
I...think...I'm done for...good bye cruel....worl....

Was Artemis a bad/evil goddess?
March 17, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
Artemis(Diana) was the goddess of the moon, hunt, and master of the bow and arrow. I am taking a Greek mythology class and whenever I read about her authors talk about her as if she is doing an evil thing, like slinging someone with her "shafts."
I also remember reading that Artemis was bent on killing someone for means of sacrifice to her...something like that.
So, was she a "bad" goddess...someone to be avoided?

Good starting compound bow?
March 14, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
I'm looking to get into archery some - mostly target shooting, but might hunt a few times also. Suggestions on some neccessities that I should be looking at?
The store I went to the other day pitched a package at me that included bow, personal fitting, quiver, draw trigger (I don't know the technical name for this) and a few starter aluminum arrows for $549. While I can't ask if this is fair without the model numbers, is this a typical initial cost? What should I be expecting to spend?
Any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

I can’t remember these Hong Kong Drama?
March 14, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
1. I remember watching this one drama at around 4 or 5, I'm now 14. It was really popular I think since there are three seasons. It's about a girl who meets a princess, who doesn't know she's a princess, and the girl tries to help her. There was a scene where the girl gets shot by an arrow by a prince during one of the hunting excursion. It's a historical romance, and I remember the villain was the king's concubine.
2. There's also another one that came out during 2006 or 2007 I think, about (also historical) about a guy from a small village trying to make it big as a judge. He falls in love with his bodyguard, who is a woman. But she falls in love with his friend/enemy, a prominent lawyer. They band together and solve a bunch of mysteries.
Please help me find out the names of the dramas. Any help is appreciated thanks.

Artemis left handed?
March 14, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Hunting Arrows
I really confused about Artemis The Goddess of Hunting. Is she a left handed?
I saw her pics while she's ready to shoot her arrow.She held the bow using right hand and pulled the bow string using left hand.
Is it just a mistake or she's really a left handed?
