The Archery Bow Buyers Guide

Archery is a sport you can take up at any age, and it is great fun, as long as you can hold a bow, you can fire an arrow. It’s a sport for all and you can join a club from the age of 8 – 80 years, yes there are still archers shooting in their 80s.

Archery is one of the oldest sports known to the human race and was regarded by many cultures as an art. You may have noticed that it figures repeatedly in Roman and Greek mythology.

It’s a great activity for developing self confidence and is fast becoming a popular team building activity that anyone can have a go at.

It’s a very active sport both in competition and as a hobby but it really is a sport of skill, not strength.

Why- because it relies heavily on good technique rather than brute force, or sheer speed and therefore is equally suited to both sexes.

I have always considered archery as an individual sport, by that I mean you are always competing against yourself, to improve your own performance.

Field archery is the closest we get to hunting with a bow and arrow. This is a challenging outdoor discipline in which the archer takes on the terrain as well as the target.  It involves shooting at targets of varying (and often unmarked) distance, often in woodland and rough terrain.

In contrast to this, archery competitions are shot indoors at World level and it is one of the few sports that allow disabled sportsmen and women the opportunity to compete on equal terms with able-bodied shooters.

Archery kits are a great way to introduce the sport without a big expense.  It’s a sport that suits everybody, young and old, males and females.

You will probably be aware that there are several different types of bows that can be used in archery such as the recurve bow, longbow and crossbow, I will go into more detail on these bows in my following article and give you all the information you’ll need on each bow.

Archery is a fun sport and I thoroughly recommend it.

The Crossbow Crossbows are believed to have been invented by the Chinese in the 4th century BC, and were common weapons in medieval times. They required less skill to use than a longbow, which was only deadly in the hands of a skilled archer and they also took a long time to crank and shoot.  However crossbows in modern archery are mostly used for target shooting and sport hunting. They have a comparatively short power stroke (the distance the bow's string is drawn back) but these bows are deadly accurate and have a firing range longer than a traditional longbow. You will find that crossbows come in many styles and sizes from pistol grip crossbows to full size military models and today they are made of many materials, including wood, metals and polymer plastics. Crossbows have a shorter draw length than bows which results in the need of a greater amount of draw force in order to store the same amount of energy. Crossbows are rated by their "draw" weight. Get yourself a crossbow silencer. These are multiple components placed on high vibration parts such as the string and limbs to dampen vibration by up to 80% and suppress the sound of loosing the arrow by up to 20db. More and more hunters are discovering the fun and excitement of hunting with crossbows but they have to apply the same basic skills and techniques as conventional bow hunters. Conclusion So, have a look around at the crossbows that are available right now on the listings here on this page and we hope you find a great crossbow at a great price.
