Archery Bows of All Makes and Models
The most popular form of archery in the United States is bowhunting.
Target archery is also a popular form too. Both indoor and outdoor target archery. Some bowhunters use target archery as a way to practice during the off season. Others do not bow hunt but enjoy target archery.
The equipment styles, types and brands will vary among archers but the fundamentals of the bow and arrow remain constant.
Bows vary widely in their shape and composition. Arrows are usually made of aluminum or carbon. The aluminum arrows are generally favored by indoor target archers since the aluminum arrows tend to be a little heavier than their carbon fiber counterparts. The lightweight carbon fiber arrow is popular for outdoor target archers. The lighter arrows can fly further and that's important since outdoor target distances can go over 125 feet.
Another physical variation of the arrow is its length. The arrow length is determined by the 'draw length' of the archer. The draw length is the distance between the arrows anchor point (the point where the arrow touches the bow) and the point where the bow string comes in contact with the archers face.
Archery has been around for over 5,000 years and has evolved from use for hunting and warfare to a popular sport today.
Archerys long past was from hunting and warfare. The use of archery for fishing, bowfishing, is relatively new. History is unclear as to exactly how long bowfishing has been around but today it's one of the fastest growing archery sports.
Bowfishing, or archery fishing uses a barbed arrow (similar to the barbs on a fish hook) along with a reel attached to the bow. The most popular type of fish varies depending on the location of the archer.
