The changes in design of the bow and arrow has occurred over thousands of years, but it has only been in the last few decades that major modern technological advances have been made in the bows used for bowhunting deer.

In the past, longbows and recurve bows were the bows of choice for for whitetail deer hunters. Today the current sport of bowhunting has changed completely due to the overwhelming use of the compound bow as most hunters choice for their bow hunting equipment.

Through the use of cables and pulleys, the design of the bow is such that the hunter can pull back the bow through its draw weight and then the action of the pulleys allows the pull needed to hold back before the shot to be highly reduced. This effect is commonly called 'let off' and allows the bow to be held at full draw with considerably less effort than standard bows.

the compound bow allows a much higher level of accuracy that previous bow designs. The amount of reduction in the amount of force needed to hold the bow at full draw is typically 50% to 65% of the bows designed draw weight. Some extreme bows claim let off in the 90% range.

These changes in bow design have made the compound bow an extremely accurate tool when bow hunting deer. Combined with modern technology in material design both for the bow and arrows, accuracy and ease of use has increased orders of magnitude over previous bow types. A compound bow has many advantages. It is lighter in weight, shorter and easier to carry and maneuver, and made of materials that require less care and worry about being damaged by the elements.

Accessories for the compound bow include trigger releases, different types of sights including cross hair and pin sights, stabilizers or v-bars which help to stabilize the bow before the shot, and various specialized arrow rests that help ensure accuracy.

There are many different variations of styles, sizes, draw weights, pulley configurations and types of compound bows available today. Bows are designed with the end use in mind as well as the size and physique of the hunter. Bows for hunting whitetail deer do not need to have the power of those that a hunter might use for bear or other big game animals.

The experience and guidance of other accomplished bow hunters is of major help if you are first looking to get a bow. Do your research before you make a decision. While low price is always attractive, try to acquire the highest quality bow that fits in your budget.

The sport of bowhunting deer is one of the most enjoyable outdoor hunting sports. The season is long, much longer than for gun hunting, and the quiet times in the woods when you are on a hunt can be an extremely agreeable and gratifying experience.

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.

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.

You want to shoot better? It doesn't matter if you've been shooting for years or just starting out.

Use a release.

First narrow your search by seeking the features most beneficial for your type of shooting. Consider which release to use based on specific use. Will you likely use it for target shooting, 3-D's and tournaments, or primarily for bowhunting?

Some shooters use the same release for all uses, while other shooters will use a specific style for target or tournament shooting and change styles when heading out to bowhunt. The options you'll search for should fit how you'll be using it. Personal preferences for comfort and style are important, so be sure to sample a variety of releases to find out which you prefer.

In some cases you'll be limited to available release styles based on your bow setup. If you use a D-loop or specialized nock, then you must choose a release advertised to work well with your setup.

Releases are essential archery hunting equipment and there is no better place to find them than right here at ArcheryHunting-Equipment.com!

The function is pretty simple - to hold your arrow in position and support the arrow until you fire the bow. This not withstanding, not all arrow rests are created equal, there are dozens of different rests to choose from. Some are inexpensive; some are not. Some are simple to install and use; many are not. Some are good for hunting; others are not. You get the idea. There is no one perfect rest for everyone and every application. Like most things you buy, each type of arrow rest has pros and cons to consider. And while it probably isn't necessary to buy the most expensive model, a quality arrow rest, in conjunction with a quality sight, will undoubtedly improve your accuracy and success in the field. If you're looking to improve your shooting, installing a quality arrow rest is a great place to start. As such, we suggest you consider this choice carefully.

Arrow Rest Types

If you're shooting a modern center-shot cutaway bow, you have a wide variety of arrow rest designs to choose from. Modern bows are generally drilled and tapped to the same AMO specs, so any brand of arrow rest fits virtually any bow*. For example, you don't have to choose a PSE rest to go with your PSE bow. You can choose virtually any rest on the market.
*Be advised, some bow brands feature especially thick risers and/or wide center-shots. If you have such a bow, please check to make sure the arrow rest you select has enough windage adjustment.

Traditional archery, once upon a time, was just called archery.  Through years of innovation and development, bow technology has evolved, not just into a higher form, but into a whole new species.  That being said, over the last few years many shooters have found themselves craving the challenge of the stick and the string.  As such, traditional shooting has grown exponentially over the last decade and continues to become more popular year after year.

When purchasing a new bow, find out if it comes with a bow stringer. If it doesn't, make sure you get one. Always use a commercial bow stringer when stringing and unstringing any bow. If you do, you'll avoid potential physical danger to yourself and your bow. Your grandfather may have used the "step-through" method, but that is totally unsafe for you and the bow, and should NOT be done, even in a pinch. Using a stringer is not really an option; it's simply something you must do! We can't stress that enough.
