Teen bowhunting question?
I am 16 years old, and am hunting by myself for the first time. I hunted with my Dad last year, but I didn’t practice shooting at all and didn’t fire a shot.
This year I have been shooting everyday, and fixing my form step by step. I normally wouldn’t have to ask a question on here for my family is big on hunting and they have the answers to every question I ask.
The question is, after I get done bow hunting with this smaller, mediocre bw this year, what bow should I try to get next year? Im using a never used 8 year old Darton Bow. My Dad said that this bow is good for the time being, but isn’t consistent. Im looking to get something like Mathews or Hoyt next year. I don’t have alot of money to use, so which kind would you recommend?
Also, what type of arrow and Color of fletching would you recommend? Just an opinionated question.
Hello, you should go with the bow that fits you best, draw length, poundage and accessories.
Now, that doesn’t mean necessarily going out and buying a brand new heavily advertised bow, they are not always the best for you.
After this season is over, put a little money aside and go to an outfitter. We have an excellent one about 40 miles from us that we purchase most of our bow hunting equipment from. They also carry a large selection of good used bows that have been tested, tuned, sometimes new strings installed etc..
Try all of them that are closest to your needs. Then make your decision based on what bow fits you best. It may not be that Mathews, Hoyt or Bowtech. It might be a bow that’s a couple of years old that just feels right to you! Mine was. Since then I’ve killed deer and squirrels with it and I wouldn’t give it up for anything.
Since you are not spending that top dollar, you’ll have a bit left over for the accessories that might make you a better more accurate with consistancy shooter which is really the most important thing instead of a brand name.
I hope that didn’t come across too sharp. It sure wasn’t meant to be. Good luck to you with your hunt this year.
As far as the fletchings, anything but white, but that’s just a hang up of mine with carbon arrows, they tolerate my abuse better than aluminum, LOL!
