How to choose your first beginner bow?

A very old discipline, archery is a fun and enjoyable activity. To begin archery, the choice of the bow is very important. There are two main categories of bows: recurve bows or classical bows and compound bows. Compound bows are dedicated to hunters while recurve bows are recommended for beginners. But how to choose your first bow? For beginners, here is how to choose your first bow:

According to the type of bow

The choice of the type of bow is a factor not to be neglected if you want to start archery. In order to choose the right beginner bow for you, it is essential to know all the types of bows that exist.

There are three types of bows: 

• The recurve bow: 

Currently, this type of bow is the most popular and widely used. The recurve bow can be disassembled or monobloc. For beginners, it is preferable to opt for the monobloc made of wood or plastic. Of course, if you want to have a perfect handling of your bow, choose this model which provides low power and ideal lightness. For experienced archers, the dismountable model, often made of steel or aluminum, is highly recommended.

• The longbow or traditional bow:

Also called the longbow, the longbow is a bow remarkable for its simplicity. It is generally made of wood. With straight limbs and a single piece of wood, this type of bow does not have an arrow rest on the riser. Because of its power, it is usually used by experienced archers.

• Compound bows or compound bows:

 This type of bow has incredible power thanks to the cams mechanisms. It is perfectly adapted to target shooting, and is therefore not recommended for hunting. The compound bow can increase its power by up to 60% during the shooting process and also has exceptional accuracy, which can be optimized by using its accessories.

Depending on the archery family

Discipline has a lot to do with the choice of your beginner bow. There are two main families of archery:

• Target shooting:

Target shooting is usually practiced outdoors or indoors. During a competition, the distance varies between 18 and 70 meters. A picture, a 3D replica of an animal or a target face of arms can be used as a target. The main objective of target shooting is to hit the center of the target with as many arrows as possible in a short period of time. For this discipline, the most commonly used bows are compound bows and classical bows. 

Apart from the above mentioned criteria, when choosing your first bow, it is important to take into account some elements such as the size of the bow, the height of the bow, the power of the limbs, the specificities of the bow and the archer and the archer's directing eye.
