Get Bows and Arrows


A bow that is too long adds weight and it can weaken the spine of the arrow. A mismatched arrow will not fly accurately. Arrows that are too short can be dangerous. As with any type of hunting, practice and training with bow and arrows is necessary. If your arrows are too heavy or lightly spined, you will have less accuracy and poor arrow flight. If you are dry firing your bow, the chances are great that your arrow is too lightweight. It increases your chances of taking down an animal successfully – and with as little trauma and pain to the animal as possible. It is regulated by the individual province or state in which you live. Of the two, it is probably better to err on the side of the arrow being too stiff than too lightly spined. Practice and training will also teach you how to properly handle a bow and arrows. Regulations will include where, when and what you can hunt. There is often a regulation as to the minimum draw weight when hunting big game. You should also listen and take advice from experienced bow hunters.
