If this is your first hunting season or whether you decide to switch your weapon from a gun to a bow, these tips are for you. To start or continue your journey with nature in this good activity you need the right tools and the proper education on the ethics of this sport. Starting with the many types of bows and arrows. These are your main archery hunting equipment.
As mentioned above, these are very important and you must make sure the arrows fit the type of bow you will be using. Although there are many types and styles of bows like the recurve, the traditional, and the longbow or crossbow; the one I recommend for taking down big game is the compound. These can also be bought in camouflage.
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 get you bow you need to make sure you get the right set of arrows. For the arrow tips when hunting it is better to use the metal broadhead tips. Now they are even available in three blades. Unless you will be using a crossbow because in that case the arrows are a lot shorter but the tips are the same size.
So once you have the weapon of choice you need the game bag and knives. A true hunter always brings back as much meat as he or she can. It is unethical to take the head only and leave any meat behind. So it is best to avoid really large animals if you will be hunting alone, especially if you have to walk quite a ways back to your camp.
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!
Try attaching as many items to your suit or in the many pockets provided because once you take down your kill you will be hauling back the meat and the bow and with these your hands will be full. Even carry a small backpack in order to keep your hands as free as possible. Also remember to bring many arrows in case you lose a few.
This is a beautiful sport, is requires much patience but in the end it is worth it. You just need to remember to maintain your equipment up to standard to avoid and reckless accidents as well. This sport as been practiced many years by many hunters and the most important thing of all is patience.
