Thread: what type of bow should i get for hunting deer

Your best bet would be to pop into a shop and have a feel of the bows.. I had my mind set on the fastest bow prior to purchasing, but once I shot the thing I quickly moved to a slower bow but felt much nicer to draw and shoot. Speed ain't everything, I don't go anywhere without a rangefinder, so I will know the exact distance prior to flinging an arrow. As Shelley said, start on a low poundage.. drawing the bow uses a whole heaps of muscles which aren't generally used on a day to day basis. I started on a 45# bow, and now shoot a 70# bow.

Have always found Simon at Advanced Archery a top bloke, would suggest to give him a ring And Greg at Archery Direct is good to deal with too!

Good luck mate!
