Bow Hunting - Natural Way Of Hunting
Hunting with a Bow is quite a famous sport; there are a few things a novice bow hunter should learn before getting into the thrilling game of bow hunting. First is to learn about laws and regulations of hunting in different states as hunting seasons and laws vary from one State to other. To get information about a particular state, get in touch with game and fish commission or similar agencies to ensure the exact rule, season of hunting, and state laws. A hunting license is compulsory in every state with exception for some private hunting clubs offering organized bow hunts.
Then learn everything you can about variety of bows that are available. Though the selection of bows, the type, and brand may differ as per the individual's choice, a lot depends on the season, the animal you want to hunt, state and national rules regarding the hunt etc. There are hunting bows of four types
• Stick bow
• Recurve
• Compound bow
• Cross bow
The first is Stick bows. A stick bow is the long English bow. It is as high or may be slightly higher than a normal individual, in the shape of "D" and does not have a recurve.
The next is Recurves. The side view of a recurve bow shows the curve ending away from the shooter at the tip. This lends a bigger throw to the arrow.
Recurve bows are preferred on bow hunting because they are smaller than a normal stick bow and easier to handle while going through forest areas on horseback. .
Then comes the Compound Bow which is a modern bow. It is a normal bow constructed in combination with a technique of cams, cables and pulleys to give higher speed to arrow. It is essential to judge the draw weight and bow length of your choice and for this consult an expert. Bows are not one size fits all.
The fourth is Cross bow for target shooting and bow hunting. A cross bow is made of a stock on which the bow is fixed. An activated trigger on the stock shoots arrow like projectiles from the bow.
Once familiar with laws of hunting, and after completion of preconditioned requirements to hunt legally like licenses and safety courses in hunting, and selection of the right bow, then decide on the type of arrows to be used.
There are variety of arrows with long handles like cedar, aluminum and carbon. Choose which arrow handle will be best suited for your bow, where you will be hunting, what you will be hunting and if there are any government or hunt club rules to be followed. Ensure with an expert archery dealer, until you can select the arrows best for your bow hunting experience

How do I put a curse on someone's elk hunt?
Some guys at work all got together and put in for next years elk bow hunt draw. They all know I am a sportsman and didn't mention it to me. I know I'm being a B about this, but man am I chapped. I guess I don't really want to put a curse on these guys, but wouldn't mind doing something to at least eat my sour grapes. Son of a .....
By the way the draw deadline is closed, so I can't do my own draw or I think I would just so that I could be happy for these guys if they draw out and all get elks:(
Thanks paget. I thought of that, but I only do public land hunts, so it is hard to show people up without putting a lot of time in. I think that sort of thing costs money too, but if your doing charity work for poor lost souls, I'll give it a try. To the rest of you guys, way to kick a guy when he's down. I realize that I am not wanted on the hunt, that's what hurts.
I just learned that the deadline has not yet passed. I guess I should thank these guys for making me realize how much I want to go and hunt these majestic animals. I'm going to put in. If I get drawn I will go with my dad.

Do you need perfect eyes for archery?
I'm 16.
I've always been fascinated with archery, but I recently went to the eye doctor and they said I had astigmatism in both eyes, but I have 20/20 vision. The only problem I have is things with contrast differences (white text against a black background) I get some ghosting. Its a bit of a pain while driving at night, but in daytime its not noticeable at all.
My schools having an archery class in the next few weeks, and am wondering if you need perfect vision?
If it works out well, I might go bow hunting with my dad (just small game).
I was told when I was a kid that you need "eagle eyes" to be any good at archery. I have 20/20 vision overall, but am just a bit nearsighted in my left eye (my right is dominant and its not noticeable at all)
