A Personal Choice!

There are many points-of-view being tossed around as-far-as bow selection. But, before deciding, ultimately several things  must be taken into consideration:

• Level of user proficiency;
• Is the bow going to be used for hunting or strictly target shooting?

Hunting bows and Target bows come in three basic types:Longbow, Recurve and Compound. The only difference between Hunting and Target bows is that Hunting bows are camo and more quiet/silent. Both types can be used interchangeably, but each specific bow has their own strengths/weakness characteristics:

• Longbow – Considered the hardest of all bows to shoot. They do not come with a sight attachment, so all are used bare-bow style.
• Recurve -  Considered to be the traditional bow of  hunter’s choice. These bows are also popular with beginners and children.
• Compound – These bows are the quickest, most accurate, and most expensive.

If you’re a novice, prior to selecting one of the many Target or Hunting bows, I would suggest shopping around; while doing so, solicit the advice/assistance and candor of an Archery professional before purchasing a specific bow type.
