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

Inexpensive recurve bow? Draw weight?
I have experience in archery, and I've decided I want to get better, and I would like to purchase a recurve bow. I am 13, and I am fairly strong (I frequently climb trees and I am pretty good at lifting heavy objects), so what do you think would be an appropriate draw weight for me? I don't want a little kiddie cheap bow, but I also don't want to spend a lot on one, considering I live in a town and won't be able to shoot everyday. Any tips on where to find an inexpensive bow would be great! Thanks so much.

compound or longbow/recurve bow.?
O.k, I live in a part of the world where there are no archery shops. Or any place where i can try each bow and see what i like best. With that out of the way, i don't know which bow to buy. This will be my first bow. The problems i see is that if i get a compound and i need to replace a string or cable i won't be able to do that unless i buy a bowpress. I was think the bowmaster press beacause its only 40 dollars. Next up with the compound if i get a string derailment,dry fire or loose cam i'm screwed. I also have no pros to ask for advice or help me tune the bow.
But, can i fully maintain a compound bow at home if i buy a bowpress,extra strings, cables ect? If that is not enough gear to maintain a compound bow please give me a list of ALL the things i will need.
Next is traditional archery, recurves and longbows. I like the fact that it will be easier to maintain without the aid of a archery shop. But me being not that strong, i wont be able to pull enough weight back to humanely harvest a a deer or peccary.
Please give a intelligent and well though through answer. I need help badly.
thanks in advance
