What To Look For When Buying Archery Accessories

By Roger Kennedy


If you love shooting a bow and arrow, you know that there are many different accessories that can make it easier and, in some cases, safer to shoot. Archery accessories come in many different varieties. Figuring out which ones are right for you is not difficult if you use the following tips and tricks when you go shopping.

You may be surprised to find that all bows are not created equal. Knowing whether someone shoots a recurve model (one that looks like a traditional bow) or a compound one is a good start. Compound bows tend to be more compact and have a cable and wheel system in addition to the bowstring itself.

One type of bow that is incredibly popular with hunters and target shooters alike is the compound bow. If you want to be able to sit with your bow drawn so that you can adjust your aim you will likely want to try this model. It can also be adjusted to allow the string to be pulled back easily or with more difficulty depending on how strong the archer is.

One thing to think about when choosing accessories is whether the bow is being used for target shooting or whether it is being used to hunt with. This will definitely impact what kind of accessories the archer will be interested in. For example, while both target shooters and hunters will likely appreciate a good sight, a hunter may also be interested in items that make it harder to see their bow while they are out in the wilderness.

One basic accessory that you may want to think about is a case. You can find special cases that protect a bow and keep accessories close at hand and organized. Knowing what kind of bow an individual has will help you chooses the right kind of case. A recurve bow can often be as long as six feet when it is not strung while a compound bow is much more compact.

Another helpful accessory is a sight. This allows the shooter to increase their chance of hitting a specific point on a target at various distances. Some archers do not use them but for others, the right sight can make all the difference when they shoot.

One accessory that is often overlooked is an arrow. Archers will use different arrows and tips depending on whether they are shooting at a live target or a non-living one. There are two parts to an arrow: the tip and the shaft. Shafts can be made out of a variety of different materials ranging from carbon to aluminum. Tips can be found in many different sizes, weights and styles. An archer can never have too many arrows.

If you shoot a bow you will likely be able to find accessories at the same store where you bought your bow. If, however, you hope to surprise the archery enthusiast in your life with accessories as gifts you may not know where to find items to choose from. You can find items online but if you are very inexperienced you might want to start looking in a hunting supply store or one that specializes in bows and other items that archers need when hunting or practicing.
