MCH Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Re: NEED SOME POINTERS ON BOWHUNTING TRY EVERYTHING! Generally, a compound with a trigger style release is good enough for beginners. Find you a set-up that you can afford and practice, practice, practice. Practice with both field points and broadheads. Once your confident with your equipment, stay in the stand and remember the wind is your best friend. And don't give up. If you need help, ask here or your local archery shop. Trust me, bowhunting is worth every single drop of sweat and tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 Re: NEED SOME POINTERS ON BOWHUNTING welcome to the forums. All bows are different, but most modern compound bows are design to be shot with a release. There are some that you can shoot with fingers, but a release will def improve your accuracy and if you're just starting out, is the way to go.

Tominator Posted June 2, 2005 Report Share Posted June 2, 2005 Re: NEED SOME POINTERS ON BOWHUNTING Fingers or release is a personal preference, but I will say that if your bow is under 36" axle to axle, you will probably be better off with a release because your fingers will get pinched on the smaller bows that they're making these days. On releases, you can use one where you pull the trigger, or one where you let go of the trigger. Personally, I've always preferred to let go of the string, so I've always used fingers or a "relax trigger" release. Welcome to the forums and welcome to the sport of bowhunting.

bulldawg Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Re: NEED SOME POINTERS ON BOWHUNTING Make sure that when you have pulled the bow back, and feel ready to release, follow through with the shot. Meaning, just click the release, but keep your anchor and form until the arrow hits paper. Same for release with fingers, but make sure you don't tightly pinch the nock, or you'll throw the shot off. When I shoot with fingers I use one above the nock, and 2 under, and just lightly let the arrow loose after aiming in. Good luck. Also, practice up close at first, until you get confident enough to back it up some. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
