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.

Question about “Bows”, as in archery?
March 8, 2010 by Bowhunter
Filed under Compound Bow
Because that IS, what she said. asked:
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....

How long do wooden recurve bows last?

Filed under Compound Bow
Dylan F asked:
I know it all depends on maintenance. But my question is about on average. I brought an old Bear compound bow in for some service, and when the bow was in press it snapped in half. Now the lady offered a really good deal on an already good deal if you ask me. A beautiful looking recurve for 35 that was priced insanely low at 55 beforehand. Now its a used recurve and LOOKS to be in good shape. But how many years of use is pushing it? also anything i should look for other than obvious cracks marks etc in buying this bow? I dont have a lot of money right now and its kinda just for fun, but i would still like it to last until i get a better job to pay for an awesome one. Thanks!
