The advantages of compound bows for hunting

Maneuverable, fast, powerful and accurate

Hunting compound bows are very short bows, often between 30 and 34" axle-to-axle, making them maneuverable, easy to transport, and also very fast.

The power is also important with bows that can go up to 80#. Note however that while a minimum power of 45# is preferable for bow hunting, there's no need to hurt yourself with excessive and uncontrollable power for the game in our forests!

In addition to allowing a flat shot and therefore more accurate than with a traditional bow, the speed of hunting compound bows will allow better penetration of the arrow into the animal for a higher quality shot.

Less experience as an archer

It's a fact, even if it's obvious that you'll need training before going hunting with a compound bow, you won't need years of practice to be effective, unlike traditional bow hunting.

Bow hunting is practiced at short distances and the compound bow, by its operation, is quite similar to a rifle: being stable, not moving, aiming at your target and pulling the trigger smoothly.

Once you have found the right position, can repeat it, and your sight is adjusted, the bulk of the archer's work will be done! The rest will depend on your hunting skills!

How to choose your compound hunting bow?

Here are some elements to consider before getting a compound bow for hunting:

  1. If you are a beginner, it's preferable to focus on finding a bow with significant adjustment ranges for draw length and power: you can then modify these elements as you practice.

  2. Also take into account certain characteristics of the bow:
  • The length of the compound bow (ATA). Be careful for long draw lengths (over 30"): opt for slightly longer bows - 32" for example. You'll gain stability and accuracy!

  • The weight of the bow: don't forget that you'll be carrying your bow all day! A lightweight bow will always be easier to transport than a heavy one.

  • Speed: expressed in FPS (Feet Per Second), a fast bow will allow for a flatter and more accurate shot, even in case of estimation errors.
