Target compound bows

For big game hunting, nothing beats a compound bow. This is a compound bow with an innovative mechanism, made of flexible materials such as carbon fiber.

It is a high-poundage bow capable of shooting arrows at very high speeds (up to 300 fps or 330 km/h), and make accurate shots even at long distances thanks to the sight. Compared to the recurve or traditional bow, the archer does not need as much effort to cocking his bow, thanks to the mechanism of the cables, eccentric cams, and pulleys. This reduction in effort is called let-off, expressed as a percentage, usually between 60 and 80%. The higher the let-off, the better.

With a compound bow, you can shoot as many times as you want without getting tired while remaining focused on your target. Hattila.com, the online archery offers a range of powerful compound bows from 55 to 75 lbs, as well as various archery accessories to better equip you for the hunt.

What are the advantages of a compound bow?

Shooting with a compound bow is more complex than with a conventional bow. Its use is less physical but is very technical. By mastering your compound bow, you will gain many advantages:

  • A gain in efficiency thanks to the cam system that allows you to tension the cables easily and release them with force
  • Firing accuracy that can be increased with a sight
  • A greater balance of the arrows thanks to the installation of an arrow rest
  • Flexibility with the possibility to equip the bow with different types of cams according to the required power

Which model to choose for a big game?

A beginner can handle the compound bow for recreational archery, but the draw weight of the bow must reflect the body type. For example, for a woman weighing between 110 and 143 lbs (50 and 65 kg), a 25 to 35 lbs bow should be used. On the other hand, a man weighing 199 lbs (90 kg) will opt for a 75 lbs compound bow.

For a unique hunting experience, Hattila.com, the online archery offers different compound bows such as the black fiberglass 40 to 70 lbs compound bow, which shoots at 270 fps or 296 km/h with 70% let-off. This black bow is also available in camouflage and is sold without arrows and accessories.

However, to kill big game in one shot, it is recommended to use 30 inches (76.2 cm) carbon or aluminum arrows. Other accessories can also help you to improve your shots, such as the peep sight and the Whisker Biscuit arrow rest, all available at the store.
