Archery: Essential Gear and Accessories for Beginners
Since shopping for archery gear can be daunting for most beginners, the ideal course of action is to visit an archery store. There, you’ll be given the proper advice based on the actual fit of accessories on your body and your preferences.
But like most of us where time is limited, what you can do may just be to learn how to choose the best archery equipment from online guides. To help you with that, here are Scuba Choice's archery gear guide along with suggestions of actual products.
Choice of Bow
The recurve bow is the ideal option for beginning archers. Setting it up is easy and you can start shooting right after the set up. Although it comes in varying lengths, choose one that is within two inches of your height. But some archers may prefer a bow than is taller than them which is perfectly okay.
Be aware of the arrow rest (bowstring) as there are some recurve bows that doesn’t come with it. Bowstrings are necessary so that you’ll be able to shoot a bow properly. They only cost around $3-$5 and the ideal length should be up to two inches shorter than your bow.
Arrow Options
Before buying an arrow, you have to know your draw weight and length first. To avoid regrets, go the smartest way instead of the cheapest way.
