I've come to notice that there aren't many archers out there these days. So what happened people? Was it the invention of the firearm that turned you off of bows, or does it have to do with city ordinances? Forget about all that stuff. Didn't you watch that flick "The weatherman?" that was sweet. I think everyone should walk around with a bow and quiver on their back. Then maybe there wouldn't be so many concealed guns. Okay, I may be sounding a tad drastic. God knows what may happen if people started walking the city streets with compound bows and broad-head arrows. This could very well end badly. What do you know about the sport of archery? Nothing; let me guess. If you hunt deer or wild turkey, then you most likely know a little. Chances are you hunt with compound bows and aluminum arrows. How am I doing so far? You have a black or camouflage bow with sites on it for accuracy. Sound about right? And if you don't hunt, then you probably know nothing about long, recurve or compound bows. That's been my experience anyway. Now don't get flustered if I misjudged you. I do realize that some individuals have archery equipment, even if they're not hunters. I personally do, but I don't know anyone else who does. I prefer a custom made long bow. I have a Zebra, which was crafted by maker Doug Duncan. It's a blast to shoot and it's really smooth. I've always preferred the old-school method over compound bows. I first shot a recurve, but it was eventually time to move up. By move up I mean find a nicer quality bow than the one I had. Now there is a different between traditional bows and compound bows. One of the greatest differences that many hunters are drawn to concerns the draw back. Once you draw back a compound bow, you no longer have to deal with the pounds pulling against you. The bow allows you to relax. Long bows and recurves do not. Also, compound bows shoot more like a dart or bullet, with incredible speed. So if this is what you prefer, then I suggest a compound over a recurve or long bow.
Check online sporting goods stores for compound bows and archery equipment. You can find all that you're looking for without searching your area for a sporting goods outlet. In addition, the supplies will most likely be less expensive on the web.
