Compound Bow
November 21, 2009 by Bowhunter
Filed under 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 have an expert help you, but if you are buying a bow online this is almost never possible. So, for an easy estimation of your draw length - hold your arm out by using a clenched fist as if you are holding the bow a the ready. Then measure from the point just beyond your fist to the closest corner of your mouth. This will get you more or less your draw length.
Brace Height
Brace height is the measurement from the string to the grip while the bow is dormant. Basically the smaller this distance is the faster the bow. But, again, with speed you give up accuracy for beginners. If you are new, stay on a brace height of over 8 inches.
Draw Weight
This is actually an individual preference, but don't get one too big for you to shoot. Make sure you can draw the bow easily. Also, keep in mind what type of game you are hunting as you many have to get a stronger bow to take down that big game.
Overall Bow Weight
Again, is an individual preference; but I want you to be mindful of the overall weight of the bow you choose. Most beginners make the mistake of getting a compound bow that is too heavy to hold at the ready.

Hoyt Bows
From hoyt.com:
"At Hoyt, we’re powered by something different. We’re driven to not just design great bows, but to engineer the world’s absolute best bows. Our 2009 line exemplifies our passion for flawless design and engineering. Never before have we taken such an aggressive approach in our research and development. Never before have we introduced a line of bows as innovative and technically sound.
Many companies claim to make the best bows. But where’s the proof? Here’s ours. We’ve made our new TEC LITE risers incredibly lightweight without sacrificing an ounce of strength and durability. Although unbelievably light, they still survive our rigorous 1,500 dry-fire test and beg for more. Our new XTS Series Split Limbs breeze through a minimum 1,000 dry-fires - a measure that would make short work of lesser limbs. Every innovative inch of our bows is designed and engineered to last."
Hoyt has been one of the top names in archery hunting equipment for many years and the reason is simple: They make great products!
This is a great hunting video showing how with the right gear and skills, you can get close to game, even in the open.

physics max range and height problem?
March 13, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Compound Bow
The speed of an arrow fired from a compound
bow is about 56 m/s. An archer sits astride
his horse and launches an arrow into the air,
elevating the bow at an angle of 50degrees above the
horizontal and 2.5 m above the ground.
The acceleration of gravity is 9.81 m/s2 :
what is the arrows range?
Assume: The ground is level. Ignore air
resistance. Answer in units of m.
part 2
What is the height of the projectile? Answer
in units of m.
(i tried using the max rangeand height formula)

What do I use for a crossbow bars/arm/bows/prods?
March 13, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Compound Bow
I'm making a homemade crossbow. I've gotten the string, stock, bolts, and release mechanism. I need to make a prod(the bar,bow). I little to no access to tools or supplies to make a legitimate one, so I need some knowledge on wood or, preferably, substitute/homemade materials suitable for a strong cross bow. I know the basics of archery; I've used a recurve and compound bow for 3 years, but no crossbow..

Can I use asphalt shingles in place of floor leveling compound?
March 12, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Compound Bow
Can I use asphalt shingles in place of floor leveling compound to correct minor (1/16") differences in subfloor? I'm talking mostly about the joints between 2 pieces of plywood. Some of them are slightly higher than the pieces they abut. But this height difference corrects over the space of about 10"-12". I would prefer not to sand them down since this will make the joints themselves level but will mean that the rest of the board will have a slight dip (or bow) to it.
I'm installing 5/8 wood floor planks over the sub. I am also laying 15lb felt down over the sub. My thought was just to level with the shingles under the paper. Looks like sanding might be the best bet. Thanks

Question about “Bows”, as in archery?
March 8, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Compound Bow
Two or three years ago, I had a fiberglass composite bow which I loved! Eventually I broke/lost all the arrows and lost intrest, (I was young!).
Of course after I learned the meaning of "nostaliga" in my English class, I've saved up some crispy greenbacks, and decided to buy a new Bow.
After some research I've gained a pretty stable idea of the pros + cons of composite and compound bows, but I never accually handled a compound bow, so my question is;
What bow is better for long ranged target shooting at stationary targets,
AND
Which bow would be better for a 6' 4" (roughly) individual, because I've noticed compound bows are extremly smmaaalllll....
Also I would like to repeat that I'm not intrested in Hunting, only target shooting!
Please reframe from answering unless you have accual bow experience, thanks.
