Don`t Forget These Archery Hunting Equipment

By Anita Ortega


Whether you are a long time hunter or simply are curious as what it is about and what it entails, there are some things to remember. The following are a few tips to brush up on or take into account if it is your first hunt. Choosing the right bow and arrows is extremely important because they are the main archery hunting equipment and therefore make the top of the list.

It is very important that the arrows fit the bow because it can make all the difference. Will you be using a traditional bow, a recurve, or a crossbow? Well, the main one of choice for hunting large game should be a compound bow. These can be bought in camouflage instead of a regular solid color.

Regardless if you rather shoot traditional or with a compound bow you need to make sure the draw weight is not to hard or too soft for you. While it feels pretty good to say you use an 80 pound draw weight bow, it is better to be able to take down your prey instead of hassling with your strength while you are trying to concentrate on the hit. This will only frustrate and tire you quicker because the bow it too hard.

So after you buy the right bow with the comfortable draw weight, you need the right length arrows. For hunting it is highly recommended that you use a broadhead metal tip. This is the traditional style but currently today you can buy the three bladed metal broadheads. Even if you are going to be using a crossbow the tips are the same size even though the arrow is a little shorter, you get the same result at the time of take down.

The next super important item on the list is the game bag for all the meat you will be bringing back with you. Always remember the most important thing when hunting is that a true hunter never wastes meat. You always have to take back as much as you can and if you know that you won't be able to, then do not take down a large animal. It is unethical to just take the head and leave the rest of the meat to rot.

Additional items you need to remember are your knife or knives and the binoculars for the wait, these are important too. A camouflaged sweater or hat should always go with camouflaged suit. But don't forget the rain jacket just in case!

You should really try and attach the items mentioned above so that the only thing you have to carry back is the game bag and bow. Try to keep you hands as free as possible and carry things of lighter weight. However you might need a small backpack if you will be out over a full day.

This particular sport is all about patience. You also need to practice and make sure you know how to handle yourself in case your bow were to break or you lose all your arrows. If you have the right equipment and it all fits and feels comfortable then you are good to go. This sport is practiced for years and hunters know that the bow needs to be constantly checked and kept up to date so as to avoid foolish accidents.
