8 Things You Should Avoid Doing With Your Compound Bow

There are mainly three types of bows that archers use: recurve, compound, and crossbow. Each comes with its perks and disadvantages. Have you seen archery in the Olympics? Then you’ve probably seen the bows that the archers use. These are called compound bows. Don’t they look amazing? If you have decided on getting a compound bow to start practicing archery after watching them shoot incredible shots, then you should know what you need to avoid doing with your compound bow. You’ll be thanking yourself later. What Is a Compound Bow? A compound bow is used in modern archery for target practice and hunting. It consists of a system made of strings and pulleys to bend the bow and fix the shot. A compound bow is much more compact and shorter than traditional bows. While a basic compound bow only consists of the levering system, a professional, comprehensive compound bow comes with many other gears such as a release-aid, peep sight, fiberoptic sight, etc. Although you may be planning to buy one or are already practicing with one, there are things that you should avoid doing to your compound bow so that it lasts longer. Using It Without Proper Knowledge Using a compound bow without having proper knowledge of its parts and how to use it can be disastrous and quite costly. While some compound bows come with all the parts included in their boxes, others only come as just the bow with the cables and cams. If you’re a beginner, you need to know beforehand the parts that you need to practice and hunt effectively with a compound bow. You can check out Bowaddicted to get guidelines on using your compound bow and which will be the best ones for you. Starting Overbowed You shouldn’t take a bow heavier than the weight that you can lift easily, which means the weight of the draw shouldn’t be greater than what you can take. If the draw weight is heavier than your wrist can hold, the bow will tremble, and you’ll not be able to balance it. If you shoot an arrow in this situation, you’ll misfire, or you may even get hurt. Not Tuning the Draw Length One of the advantages of a compound bow is you can adjust its draw length and draw strength according to your comfort. However, this is a common mistake that many archers make when using this bow for the first time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvgyI-Zyf-U Another thing you should avoid is getting a compound bow whose draw length is greater than the length of your arms or shorter than that. Get the draw length adjusted by a professional according to your maximum stretch, as there are a lot of bolts and screws to work with. Along with the length of the string, they can also adjust the tightness of the bow with an Allen wrench for maximum performance. Dry Firing Your Compound Bow What does dry firing mean? It’s when you draw the bowstring and release it without an arrow. Drawing the string produces a great tension, which needs a proper release. Without an arrow, the energy from your arms will transfer entirely to the bow and string, which will damage them badly. You don’t want that, right? Using Arrows That Don’t Match Your Bow’s Quality It’s crucial that you use arrows that match the quality and specifications of your bow if you want your bow to function correctly. An arrow will only perform well if it matches your bow. Otherwise, the bow may slip or break. Not Maintaining It Properly You sometimes will need professionals to fix and maintain your compound bow. An expert will understand how tight the string should be or how long it should be able to stretch after examining your physique thoroughly against the bow. They may also recommend you a better bow option. Compound bows need proper maintenance if you want them to last you for years. And if you fall in a situation where you need to fight as well as survive, then compound bows are the better choice for the SHTF scenario out of all the other types of bows. But only if maintained properly. Storing It Anywhere but Its Case If you’re thinking that you’ll just take off the cables, disintegrate the parts and store them or carry them compactly, that won’t work. Fixing it will take an expert hand and machinery, and you don’t want to go down that expensive road. Because of how awkwardly shaped it is, you can’t store compound bows just anywhere you like. It will end up bruising the bow badly. You need to keep the bow in its box along with the arrows and gears. It’ll be heavier to carry, but it’s still worth it. Using It as a Beginner Although more accurate and faster to shoot with, compound bows can be difficult for beginners due to their structural complexity. You’ll have a terrible start to your training. Besides, it’s a good idea to build your strength and sharpen your aim with a recurve bow. Choose a bow with draw weight and draw length that’ll resonate better with you so that you can work your way up to the strength and expertise to shoot with a compound bow. You can later adjust your compound bow to your level of expertise as you gain more experience. With more knowledge and experience, you can upgrade to better, more stable compound bows and become a better bow hunter. Conclusion As fun as archery is, you need a lot of training to master the skills. Your bows back you up. In this case, to help you achieve your desired goal. Buy the right compound bow that will match your fitness and stretch, avoid doing the things we have discussed in this article to your compound bow, and follow some safety rules. You’ll do well with your compound bow, and will get satisfactory results over the long run. Read the full article

BEST OVERALL Bow: Bear Archery Divergent EKO
Bear Archery Divergent EKO – Our Winner
check latest price
Not too long ago we had the chance to put the Divergent EKO to a proper bow test.
While on the range, we didn´t notice any rough spots or points of hesitation within the draw cycle. With a weight of around 4.1lbs, the Divergent EKO is a relatively light and easy to carry bow.
This EKO is not as adjustable as the Bear Cruzer G2, for example. But the fact that you can choose from two different limb packages (45-60 lbs. and 55-70 lbs.) and its high IBO speed rating of 338 FPS make this bow absolutely our favorite bow on this list.
If you want to read more, check out our in-depth Hands-On Review of the Bear Divergent EKO.
And yes, one of the most talked-about feature of the Bear Divergent EKO is its adjustable let-off factor of up to 90%.
This compact bow is very versatile and can most accurately be described as one with an aggressive performance. The bow has Max Preload Quad Limbs attached to the riser by machined aluminum limb pockets.
Specs:
Brace Height: 6.5”
Let-Off: 75%, 80%. 85%, 90%
Axle-to-Axle: 30 inches
Adjustable Draw Length: 26 – 30 inches
Draw Weight: 45-60/55-70 LBS
Speed: 338 FPS
Weight: 4.1 LBS
Short Recap
The Divergent EKO is the perfect fit for whitetail hunting, big game hunting, and everything in between. Well, we liked what we found! So as of right now, we would go so far as to declare the Divergent EKO the best bow on this list!
Here’s why: It’s affordable, the quality is excellent, it got a lot of speed (up to 338 fps), and it´s available in different configuartions.
(Another great bow from Bear Archery we recently had the chance to review “hand-on” is the Cruzer G2. Read our Bear Archery Cruzer G2 Review here).
Best Bow for Beginners: Diamond Infinite Edge 320
Diamond Archery Infinite Edge 320 – Perfect for Beginner
check latest price
This bow is directly derived from the infinite edge pro model bow that spawned Diamond’s success in the mid-2000s. It´s an awesome bow not only for deer hunting but also for hobby shooting too. Make a note that this model offers a pretty smooth draw cycle.
Make sure to check out our in-depth and hands-on review of the Infinite Edge 320.
You will be hard-pressed to find a better beginner compound bow anywhere on the planet than the Diamond Infinite Edge Pro.
Josh Boyd
This exact platform has remained the company’s flagship ever since. Most of this fanfare stems from the Edge’s one-size-fits-all form.
A high point of the Diamond Archery Infinite Edge is the bow’s immense adjustability and it´s draw cycle.
The adjustable draw weight settings range from 5-70 pounds, while the bow’s draw length can be adjusted from 13”-31”. These features allow archers of all ages and experience levels to enjoy all that the Diamond Infinite Edge offers. The bow is available with a right-hand or left-hand configuration.
Specs:
DRAW LENGTH: 13-31″
IBO SPEED: 310 Feet per Second
MASS WEIGHT: 3.2 LBS
AXLE TO AXLE: 31″
BRACE HEIGHT: 7″
DRAW WEIGHT: 5-70 lbs
EFFECTIVE LET-OFF: 80%
Features:
Easily adjustable for use by archers of all ages
Redesigned cam system for smooth draw cycle
Stabilizer for perfect balance
Short Recap
Although this bow is somewhat of a no-frills model, it is still offered in a R.A.K. package that features the necessary accessories to get started in your archery endeavors.
The included sight, arrow rest, stabilizer, quiver, peep sight, and D-loop will allow your bow to be set up in no-time, getting you on the range much faster than you would have ever thought possible.

Best For Youth: Diamond Prism
Diamond Prism Bow – Perfect for Younger Archers
check latest price
This bow offers a range of adjustability that is second to none and comes fully outfitted with all of the accessories that your young outdoorsman or woman needs to begin their journey. This bow also works well for target practice.
Interested in more information about the Diamond Prism? We did an in-depth hands-on review of the Diamond Prism Bow – Check it out!
The Diamond Prism offers youth archers everything that they need to get off to an excellent start in the sport of archery.
Josh Boyd
The Prism features a draw weight range of 5-55 pounds, as well as a draw lengths that adjusts from 18”- 30”. The draw cycle is good
This creates a unique set of circumstances where any child can essentially “grow-up” with the Prism, as it accompanies them along their archery career all the way into adulthood.
Specs:
DRAW LENGTHS- 18-30″
IBO SPEED- 295 FPS
WEIGHT- 3.2 LBS
AXLE TO AXLE- 31″
BRACE HEIGHT- 7″
DRAW WEIGHT- 5-55 lbs.
EFFECTIVE LET-OFF- 80%
Features:
Adjustable from child to adult
Excellently balanced for comfort
Comes with ready to shoot package
This bow features a 3-pin Tundra sight, captive-style arrow rest, quiver, D-loop, and peep sight.
While these are package level accessories, they are indeed of decent quality, and an archer can always update these items at a later date as they see fit.
Short Recap
I do not recall a time when I have shot or reviewed an entry-level youth bow that was this impressive, and any young archer will be in absolute love with the versatility of it.
I found very little wrong with the Prism’s design, function, or versatility. My only gripes were its lacking accessories which can easily be replaced to suit any archer’s personal taste.

Best For the Money: Diamond Archery SB-1 Edge

Diamond SB-1 Bow – Great Value
check latest price
If you are looking for the deal of the century, then the Diamond Archery SB-1 Edge is the bow for you. The SB-1, based on Diamond’s enormously popular Edge platform, offers outstanding performance at an exceptional value. We think of it as the best value compound.
In fact, I believe that this bow performs at the same level as many of Diamond’s offerings from Bowtech at half the cost.
Josh Boyd
To begin with, the range of adjustability that this bow feature is outstanding. With a draw range of 5-70 pounds, as well as a draw length adjustment of 15”-30”, the SB-1 is truly a bow that fits any archer and one of the best affordable bows available. We also liked its draw cycle.
Combine this with the SB-1’s lightweight 3.6-pound frame, and you have a bow that can hold its own against many offerings in the premium price point range.
Specs:
Speed: 318 FPS
Axle-To-Axle: 31″
Bow Weight: 3.6 lbs.
Draw Length: 15″ – 30″
Draw Weight: 7 lbs. – 70 lbs.
Brace Height: 7″
Features:
Adjusts from 5-70 pounds, for any archer
EZ Adjust pocket system
Excellent draw cycle
Perfectly symmetrical cams
Also included with the purchase of a Diamond SB-1 Edge are a sight, arrow rest, stabilizer, quiver, peep sight, and D-loop. These items alone easily could save a consumer an additional $150 in accessory purchases.
Short Recap
An excellent bow at a reasonable price point. Based on Diamonds Edge platform, this bow shows an outstanding performance at an exceptional value. The 7″ brace height will allow beginners to “get the grip” more easily and make it also a great bow for someone how hasn´t much experience yet.
Not for you? Here you´ll find our favorite takedown recurve bows…
Fastest Bow: PSE Bow Madness Unleashed

PSE Bow Madness Unleashed – up to 340 fps
check latest price
Just ten years ago bows were barely breaking the 300 FPS threshold. Now, several bows on the market have bested that number substantially. One such bow is the PSE Bow Madness Unleashed.
This bow features a blistering fast ATA speed of 340 FPS. Even more appealing is that this PSE bow looks and feels as good as it shoots.
Much of this speed is due to PSE’s revolutionary 3-track binary cam. It is also worth mentioning that this cam is capable of actuating in an incredibly smooth manner, despite its aggressive profile.
This is something that is seldom experienced out of a bow that features this level of performance.
Looking for the fastest bows? Here is our article about the fastest compound bows
Specs:
Weight: 3.9 pounds
Speed: 340 FPS
Let-Off: 85%
Axle-To-Axle: 32.375″
Draw Length: 25″ – 30.5″
Draw Weight: 50 lbs. – 70 lbs.
Brace Height: 6″
Features:
Good draw cycle
85% let-off
Built on stiffer and stronger riser for comfort and speed
Comes equipped with ready to shoot package
Short Recap
The PSE Bow Madness Unleashed also makes the perfect bow for an experienced archer. High speeds and a draw weight adjustability of 50 – 70 lbs., make this a less forgiving bow. This bow is not for you if are a beginner …
The let-off of 85% allows any bowhunter to wait out the perfect shot, without succumbing to muscle fatigue, or being forced to let their bow down.
Best For Women: Diamond Carbon Knockout

Diamond Carbon Knockout
check latest price
The Diamond Carbon Knockout is a bow that is specifically engineered for the female archer, offering lightweight handling, notable performance, and a striking appearance in a single package.
This women’s bow comes in multiple draw configurations, including 40, 50, and 60-pound models.
Perhaps the biggest advantage offered to the female archer by the Diamond Carbon Knockout is its ease of handling.
Weighing in at just 3.2 pounds, this bow is light enough to carry on spot and stalk hunts without becoming excessively fatigued, and a compact 30” axle-to-axle measurement offers ample maneuverability.
Specs:
Weight: 3.2 pounds
Speed: 302 FPS
Let-Off: 80%
Axle-To-Axle: 30″
Draw Length: 22.5″ – 27″
Draw Weight: 40, 50, 60 lbs.
Brace Height: 6.75″
Features:
Lightweight with carbon riser design
Synchronized binary cam system
Nice Draw Cycle
Compact 30″ axle-to-axle length
The Carbon Knockout features an IBO speed of 302 FPS, which is suitable for most any type of hunting situation.
Short Recap
Easy to adjust – the bow’s binary system makes tuning a breeze, keeping you on the range and in the woods, instead of in the shop sorting out poor shootability issues. Specifically engineered for the female archer: ATA 30″, Draw weights from 40- 60 lbs., lightweight at 3.2 pounds.

Best Compact Bow: PSE Archery Evolve 28

Compact – PSE Archery Evolve 28
check latest price
PSE has never been a company to shy away from innovation, and this becomes quite evident when looking at their Evolve 28 bow.
This bow is extremely compact, featuring a 28 inches axle-to-axle measurement. This comes as a distinct advantage to those who regularly hunt in confined quarters, such as a ground blind.
Josh Boyd
Contrary to what many would expect, the Evolve 28 is also engineered to be forgiving and smooth shooting. This is made possible thanks to PSE’s revolutionary cam system.
These specialty cams also provide an outstanding 80-90% let-off factor, making the Evolve 28 insanely easy to hold at full draw, even for lengthy periods of time.
Specs:
DRAW LENGTH: 24.5 – 30″
IBO SPEED: 335 Feet per Second
MASS WEIGHT: 4.1 LBS
AXLE TO AXLE: 28″
BRACE HEIGHT: 7″
DRAW WEIGHT: 60, 70 lbs
EFFECTIVE LET-OFF: 80 – 90%
Features:
28 inches axle-to-axle measurement
80-90% let-off for easy hold at full draw
Compact and comfortable
smooth draw cycle
Short Recap
The Evolve 28 is also no slouch in the arena of performance, turning out an incredibly fast 335 FPS IBO speed. This is quick enough to qualify the Evolve 28 as the second-fastest bow on this list, finishing right behind the PSE Bow Madness Unleashed.
Its short ATA makes this bow ideal for hunting in confined quarters.
Best Cheap: SAS Outrage Perfect Bow

SAS Outrage – Good Priced Entry Bow
check latest price
If you are looking to get started in compound archery, but have a restrictive budget to keep in mind, the SAS Outrage Compound Bow is worth a closer look.
This bow is noteworthy due to the fact that it is actually a technically sound bow, that is offered at an unbelievably low price. We think it is the best bow for the price.
With an arrow speed of 270 feet per second, the SAS Outrage is obviously not the fastest bow on the market, but it is certainly speedy enough to take any game that you might decide to hunt.
Additionally, this bow’s 55-70 draw weight range and 25 – 31 inches draw length adjustment means that it is versatile enough to be used by virtually any adult archer.
Specs:
DRAW LENGTH: 25 – 31″
IBO SPEED: 270 Feet per Second
MASS WEIGHT: 4.4 LBS
AXLE TO AXLE: 35″
BRACE HEIGHT: 7″
DRAW WEIGHT: 65 – 70 lbs
EFFECTIVE LET-OFF: 70%
Features:
Compressed ABS limbs
Twin cam idlers
Affordable price
Smooth Draw Cycle
Short Recap
The SAS Outrage is also somewhat striking in its looks. If you were to lay it out on a table, and ask a fellow archer enthusiast what they would guess the Outrage cost, they would not be able to tell that it was a budget bow by looks alone.
A series of stylish, yet functional riser cutouts provide this bow with a decent level of eye-appeal.

Best New Compound Bows For 2021
Bowhunters and archers of all levels are always on the lookout for a new bow. This year’s ATA show was held virtually, but not to worry: we still had the chance to take a look at some of the new flagship bows offered by various manufacturers.
The following are some of the most noteworthy bows unveiled for the 2021 model year. We hope this quick overview helps you make an informed decision when it comes time to buy your next bow!
Hoyt Ventum 30 and Ventum 33
Based in Utah, famed bow manufacturer, Hoyt recently unveiled two of its newest offerings, the Ventum 30 and Ventum 33. Compound bows within the Ventum series will possess many of the same traits already found in Hoyt’s legendary carbon lineup, yet feature all-metal risers.
These bows also possess an all-new Picatinny rail sight mount.
The 2021 Hoyt 2021 Ventum 30 / 33
As its name would suggest, the Ventum 30 measures 30” axle-to-axle, while weighing in at only 4.6-pounds. The Ventum 30 will come in 80% and 85% let-off variants, both featuring a draw length range of 25”-30”.
This bow is also poised to be quite fast, with a rated arrow speed of 342 FPS.
The Ventum 33 measures in at 33 ½” axle-to-axle, and weighs 4.7 pounds, while sending arrows downrange at speeds up to 334 FPS. The Ventum 33 is available in both 80% and 85% let-off forms, both featuring an effective draw length range of 26”-31”.

Bear Redemption EKO
The Bear Redemption EKO, with a rated arrow speed of 342 FPS, is poised as Bear Archery’s flagship bow for the 2021 model year. This bow measures 31” axle-to-axle, and carries an effective draw length range of 26”-30”.
The Redemption also features Bear’s proprietary EKO system, which allows an archer to select between 4 individual let-off settings (75%, 80%, 85%, 90%).
Bear Archery Redemption EKO 2021
Also of note, is the Redemption EKO’s inclusion of an integrated Align-Lok system, which allows archers to more accurately align their sights, on a second and third axis level.
Additionally, the Redemption EKO features an all-new Vibration Reduction System (VRS), which serves to eliminate hand shock and mute any unnecessary noise at the shot.
Find out more: https://www.beararchery.com/products/bear-redemption-eko-compound-bow
Elite EnKore
The Elite EnKore is designed with versatility and ultimate shootability in mind. This bow measures 33” axle-to-axle while weighing in at only 4.55-pounds.
The EnKore features a rated arrow speed of 340 FPS, and a rather significant draw length range of 23”-30”. An archer can also select between several different peak draw weights (40, 50, 60, 65, and 70 pounds).
Elite Archery EnKore 2021
Perhaps even more interesting, is the EnKore’s inclusion of an independently adjustable let-off factor, much like that which is standard for newer offerings by Bear Archery.
One can select between four let-off settings, ranging from 70%-90%. The EnKore can also be adjusted and tuned without the use of a bow press, requiring little more than the use of basic Allen wrenches.
Find out more: https://www.elitearchery.com/product/enkore
Mathews V3
The V3 is also noteworthy for its use of a specialized Centerguard Cable Containment System, which equalizes the bow’s cable angles throughout the draw cycle.
This, in turn, optimizes cam timing, while also creating a greater degree of vane clearance. Additionally, the Mathews V3 features new Nano 740 dampeners, which are specifically designed to eliminate unnecessary vibration.
The NEW 2021 Mathews´s V3
Mathew’s new V3 compound comes in both 27” and 31” axle-to-axle variants.
The V3 27 weighs in at only 4.29-pounds, and carries a rated arrow speed of 342 FPS, while the V3 31 weighs 4.5-pounds, also with a rated IBO speed of 342 FPS.

What’s your purpose?
One thing you should ask yourself before you make a buying decision is what you´re actually up to with the bow? Do you want to do target shooting at a range or your backyard? Or do you even plan to go hunting with it?
Bow Hunting
According to statista.com, the number of participants in bow hunting in the United States from 2011 to 2019 was approximately 4.63 million. If you have not been bow hunting as of yet – you might wonder how can you be good at hunting?
There are plenty of reasons to learn to hunt. First, it is a way to provide lean and healthy meat for your family, and secondly, hunters play a big role in preserving our wildlife.
How can you be Good at Hunting?
In many cases, hunting is taught from father to son and daughter. If this does not apply to you – no problem – you should start anyways by taking a course at hunter-ed.com and, after you pass, find a hunting mentor.
Hunting is a regulated activity. That´s why you need to pass hunter ed before you can go and buy a hunting license.
Once you pass, your hunter ed is good for life
Make sure to check your state laws. It is possible that you need not only hunter ed but also bowhunter ed too. You can find out if your state requires bowhunter ed here.
Hunting takes time, gear, and lots of work. So how can you be good at hunting? Be consistent and willing to learn from others
Deer Hunting
Do you want to go deer hunting? Take a look at our list of bows we recommend. Or read through some of our hands-on reviews- We compiled a list of affordable but highly effective and adjustable compound bows.
If you plan to go small game bow hunting, no need to go overboard with your bow!
What are the Hunting Season Dates?

Who is the God of Hunters?
Things you Should know about before Buying a Compound Bow
If you are an experienced archer, you will be aware of the stuff mentioned below. But in case you are new to archery, read on – as that stuff is really important!
Arrow Speed
The more the better right? Well, not necessarily. First of you should know, that two standards regarding speed specifications exist.
IBO (International Bowhunting Organization)
ATA (Archery Trade Association)
The most commonly used metric is still the IBO rating. Even though the ATA rating is the more accurate one. Why? Because draw- length, height, and arrow weight is set forth for testing purposes.
IBO speed is the speed an arrow with a weight of 5 grains per pound of draw weight, fired from a given bow, has.
There is no requirement regarding draw length, no limits in the maximum weight – as long as the arrow weight is adjusted.
Every added inch of draw length will approximately 10-15 fps of arrow speed …
Does this mean that speed is not essential? No, arrow speed is an important factor. FPS is measured at point-blank range. Plus it is a factor when calculating the kinetic energy of your arrows.
What Is FPS
Speed is measured in feet per second or FPS. More fps generally means a faster bow. A bow rated at 330 fps is faster than one rated at 300 fps.
The further the arrow travels, the more it slows down. Starting with a relatively high FPS will, in most cases, increase your effective bow range (this, of course, is a simplification as many factors depending on your set up impact arrow speed).
What Is A Good FPS For A Bow
There is no right or wrong answer. I depends on what you plan to do with your bow. If you plan on bowhunting small game, a bow with a lower fps will be sufficient.
If you plan to go deer hunting, your arrows will need a minimum kinetic energy of 25-41 ft. lbs. to ensure good arrow penetration.
Kinetic energy = (FPS²) * (Weight of Arrow) / 450240
Bow Weight
Shooting the Diamond Edge 320
The actual weight of your bow is essential. Even one pound makes a big difference.
Be it that you are at the range and fire 100 arrows per training session or you are out in the woods, holding your bow at full draw, waiting for the perfect moment to harvest the game you were following the last two days.
Light Weight Bow
The latest carbon fiber compound bows only weight in at 3.2 pounds. It is not uncommon that bows comprise different materials.
Some of the carbon fiber compound bow parts available right now are:
Riser
Cam
Limbs
Idler wheel
Arrows
What are the Benefits of a Light Weight Bow
If you have a lighter bow, you can put weight where it makes the bow steady. End of stabilizers or closer to axles.
Bow Limbs
Solid or split limbs? The times when manufacturers argued which limb type is superior over the other are over. You´ll find either type with almost all major bow brands. Huntersfriend.com has an extensive article talking about cam & limb technology.
Here is what they say regarding limb trends:
…”Short of wandering onto hallowed ground, we can make one observation about limb trends. All of today’s really fast 340/350 fps speed bows seem to be utilizing a similar limb concept – what we loosely call the Willow Tree limb“…
https://www.huntersfriend.com/cam-and-limb-technology-compound-bow-research-selection-guide.html
We highly suggest you go and check out their articles. They´re really informative and cover a lot of topic in depth.
Let-Off
Modern compound bows offer a let-off of 70% or more. Don´t be fooled by this. It does not mean you are pulling only 30% of the actual weight.
You need to be able to draw whatever draw-weight your bow has. The let-off reduces the weight (by x%) you need to hold when you´re at full draw.
A high let-off will allow you to remain at full draw longer, with less effort. This is helpful when you already had to draw your bow and are still waiting for the game to move into a better position to place the perfect shot.
Bow Length
As with recurve bows or traditional bows, bow length is measured from the tip of the top limb to the tip of the bottom limb. Your draw length would determine what bow length should be a goood fit.
Recurve bows most commonly come in lengths of 58, 60, and 62 ” – the shorter you draw length, the shorter the bow should be.
Axle to Axle Length
ATA Compound Bow
Compound bow length is measured from axle-to-axle. The abbrevation is ATA
Cam System
Each cam of a compound bow has two tracks: an inner track that is connected to the opposite limb or cam through cables, and an outer track through which the bowstring runs.
The ratio of bowstring pay-out and cable take-up relative to limb-weight and cam leverage changes as the bow is drawn.
Different cam systems available are:
Single Cam System
Dual Cam System
Hybrid Cam System
Binary Cam System
Cam synchronization is key. Single cam and binary cam systems, due to their nature, require less maintenance. Basically, it all depends on personal preference; modern bows are technically sound, regardless of the cam system used.
Draw Length
Draw length is the distance between your bow´s riser and the most distant part of a bowstring when you are at full draw.
The ATA defines it as follows: “Draw length is the distance from the nocking point on the string to the pivot point on the bow grip plus 1 3/4 inches.”
What is Your Draw Length
There are several ways to determine your personal draw length
Wingspan Measurement
more
With this method, you only need an assistant, tape measure, and a calculator.
Straighten your back and extend your arms outward. Now let your assistant measure the distance from the furthest fingertip on the one hand to that on the opposite side.
Be sure to keep the tape on tight. Note down the distance, then divide it by 2.5. Here we go!
Sternum Midline Measurements
This method of measurement is not as accurate and should only be used as a first guideline. Standing upright, extend your bow arm outward, so it is parallel with the floor.
You will then record the distance from the sternum to the base of the wrist of the extended arm using a tape measure. The number recorded in inches will be your personal drawing length.
Measurement Arrows
These special arrows are marked with varying length designations on their shafts, used to take stock of the archer’s draw length.
This method requires nothing but a bow, a measurement arrow, and an assistant.
Nock a measurement arrow onto the bow string. Have your assistant watch as you draw back your bow until full draw.
Note down your findings, and voila.
Adjustable Draw Length
Most modern compound bows offer an adjustable draw length – so unless you are 7 feet or taller, you can adjust your bow accordingly – using one of the above-mentioned methods.
To learn even more about draw-length measurement, read our article here. But honestly, if you’re new to archery, you should visit your local archery shop!
Does Draw Length Affect Draw Weight?
So the question is, will a shorter draw length affect the maximum poundage of the bow?
No, at least not for a compound bow. A compound bow with 60 lbs at 28 inches will remain at 60 lbs with a 27 inches draw length.
Recurves and longbows have progressively heavier draw weights the farther they’re drawn. The standard for measuring their draw weight is for 28 inches draw – a draw length of 26 inches will result in lesser poundage. To determine the exact weight corresponding to your draw length, use a bow scale.
Does Draw Weight and Bow Weight Determine Draw Length?
Always make sure you choose a draw weight within your skill range! If you can´t pull a 50 lbs bow, chances are you won´t be able to reach your draw length …
Other than that: no, they shouldn’t. Draw length is determined by your physical appearance, using one of the methods mentioned above.
There are several ways to determine your draw lengths. You can read our article about draw-length measurement here. But honestly, you should go to your nearest bow shop, especially when you´re new to archery!
Draw Weight
Draw weight determines how much weight (measured in pounds) you need to apply, to draw the bow.
Draw weight also determines the speed at which your arrow leaves the bow. And that is why it is an important part of the kinetic energy formula.
Let’s talk about kinetic energy for a moment. It is the standard figure to determine arrow penetration. In case you’re interested: here is the formula
(FPS²) X (Weight of Arrow) / 450,240 = Arrow’s Kinetic Energy
Example:
300 fps² = 300 x 300 = 90000 90000 x 350 (grains arrow weight) = 31500000 31500000 / 450240 = 69.96 Arrow´s Kinetic Energy = 69.96 ft-lbs
How much Kinetic Energy for Bowhunting?
Although kinetic energy may not seem like the best indicator for bowhunting, it is actually an essential factor. It can help determine how much force your arrow will have and its range (as well as penetration).
Generally speaking, you should stick to the following numbers to be on the safe side:
Small Game < 25 ft. lbs Medium Game (Deer) 25-41 ft. lbs Large Game (Elk) 42-65 ft. lbs XL Game (Grizzly) >65 ft. lbs
Adjustable Draw Weight
The advantages of an adjustable draw weight are that the bow can be set up for different purposes. Depending on what you plan to hunt, you can adjust draw weight and arrow weights accordingly until you find your perfect setup.
Additionally, this is probably more important to someone just starting – it gives you “room” to grow. As you grow stronger physically, you can increase your bow´s poundage accordingly.
How do you Know your Draw Weight?
You have to try! Yes, no guessing there. You need to pick up your bow and try. Your draw weight should be as heavy as you can manage in a controlled manner.
Draw, aim and follow-through all should be done in a controlled manner!
Does Draw Weight Affect Accuracy?
The poundage itself does not affect your accuracy. But it affects range and arrow drop. Plus, if you are over bowed, your form and aiming will suffer – and eventually your accuracy too.
Most modern compound bows allow increments in 5 or 10 lbs steps. Starting from as low as 7lbs. all the way up to 70 lbs.
Brace Height
Brace height is measured between the deepest part of the grip and the bowstring. An extra inch on the brace height will make your bow more forgiving. This has to do with how long the arrow is being “pushed” by the bowstring.
For example, 28″ draw length with a 7″ brace height means you’ll draw the bowstring 21″. With the same draw length, but a 6″ brace height, you’ll draw 22″.
Shorter brace height = longer draw, but higher arrow velocity
Greater brace height = arrow leaves string faster, less time to mess up, usually slower
Bigger brace heights are generally more recommended for beginners.
Bow Sights

check latest price
Different types of bow sights exist.
Fixed Pin Sight
Single Pin Bow Sights / Multiple Pin Bow SIghts
Pendulum Bow Sights
The fixed pin bow sights are the ones you´ll find most commonly used. Typically between 3 and 5 pins in quantity. At the range, you are adjusting these pins to the distances you are using the most (20, 30, and 40 yards).
A big advantage is, that when your out in the field, no adjustments need to be made. Just pick the pin that is closest to the yardage your shooting at.
Obviously you need to be able to judge the distance correctly…
An example would be the trophy ridge pursuit (single), or the Dead Ringer Tack Driver DT (multiple)
The Pendulum Bow sight works on a pivoting axis and compensates trajectory discrepancies when shooting at a steep downward angle.
Treestand- or saddle tree hunters will find the use of those sights especially useful. Distances over 30 yards will diminish accuracy quickly.
A good product is the Truglo Pendulum Sight.
What is Bow Sight Made of?
The majority of bow sights are made of aluminum and/or polymer plastics.
What is a Peep Sight?

A peep sight is a small, hollow circle that is installed on an archer’s bowstring. They use a bow sight on their bow in conjunction with their peep sight to narrow their field of vision as well as to aim at a distant or distant target.
Arrow Rests
You need your arrow to be in place when drawing and shooting your bow. There are different technologies available.
Shoot-Thru Arrow Rests
Containment Arrow Rests
Drop Away Arrow Rest
Pressure Rests
3D & Special Rests
Most likely you´re going to use a containment rest. The Whisker Biscuit as a containment rest is dominating the market. More than 50% off all bows sold use some sort of Whisker Biscuit.
One of the downsides of the whisker biscuit is that it makes contact with the vanes. Other containment-rests hold the arrow at three points and are designed to not to make fletching contact.

check latest price
Also popular are drop away arrow rests. They appeared first during the 1900s. And the main benefit of them is that they won´t make contact with the arrow once it is released.

Release Aid
While traditional archers or recurve bow archers use their fingers to release the bowstring, most compound archers use a release aid for this task.
Modern compound bows feature short axle-to-axle lengths and make finger shooting difficult (finger pinch).
A release aid minimizes the chance of string torque and typically yields an increase in arrow speed and aids in consistent arrow grouping.

check latest price
Types of Releases
Index finger release
Thumb trigger release
Back pressure style releases
The most favorite release aid among hunters is the index finger release. You can read more about the topic here.
Summary
Well, I genuinely hope that this article was helpful while finding the best bow of 2021. I tried to cover many topics, but there is much more to it – see this article as the first step into archery and bowhunting.

So What is the Best Archery Backstop?
Which backstop is best for you depends on the shooting that you’re doing. The answer depends on the shooting space you have available.
Why? Well, if you´re shooting in your basement, you already have some “backstop” – most likely, there is a wall behind your target. It is more about protecting your arrows – not so much about protecting others.
And if you are shooting outside, it is a question of safety for others from any stray arrows. Not so much you ruining your arrows.
The best type of backstop for you depends on what kind of shooting practice you wish to undertake.
Shooting in Your Basement?
When you are shooting in your basement, block targets or bag targets will probably be your choice of target.
You still need some kind of backstop – other than the concrete wall…
Here are some DIY ideas:
If you are shooting at a 3D target, put a bag target behind
Rigid foam insulation duct-taped together could do the job
Fill burlap sacks with hay, place them behind the target
Hang a bunch of old quilts from the ceiling
Or you buy a special hanging backstop. They are easy to install and are not too expensive either.
Shooting in Your Backyard?
Now, things are getting more interesting. If you are shooting in your backyard, there is a great chance that the backstop could be something natural.
And of course, when you are practicing in your backyard, then it´s not just about protecting arrows from being broken or ruined by hitting trees and branches. Make sure you have an emergency stop to prevent stray arrows from becoming a hazard.
Place the target in front of your backstop, or move it up as long as it is high enough to catch an arrow.
The best natural archery backstops for an outdoor archer:
A dirt pile, berm, or earthen bank
Place your target in front of a barn
You can use hay bales as well
One note: Hay bales will do the trick, but if you use a compound bow that shoots over 300 FPS, you will penetrate the bale pretty deeply. You could have a hard time finding your arrow or pulling it out…
