Some Things you Need to Know When Selecting a Bow
Due to the fact that there is that vast selection of bows on the market, the merchandise for the sport of archery comprises a buyer's market and therefore you should try out as many bows as you possibly can get your hands on before making a choice. Getting a bow that feels good in your hands and is correctly set up for your shooting style and body type will greatly increase your accuracy and ability to relax while shooting. Remember that your bow is an investment and when it comes time for you to hit the target that last thing that you want is to lose confidence in your shooting ability or equipment.
It can be surprising how much you have to know when buying a bow. For one thing, you have to know about your eye dominance. You need to know whether you need to pick a left hand or right hand bow. Usually a person who is right handed will be right eye dominant, while a person who is a southpaw will be left eye dominant. However, there are cases where a person is opposite-eye dominant.
In order to find your dominant eye, point to a distant object and look at it with both eyes. Then, close your left eye. If your finger is now still pointing precisely at the target then you are right eye dominant. If your finger is no longer aligned with your chosen object, then you know that you are left eye dominant.
Needless to say, if you are right eye dominant then you will want a right-handed bow while if you are left eye dominant then you will want a left-handed bow. If you are opposite eye dominant don't worry about needing to learn to shoot with the "wrong hand". You will be able to learn to "switch hit" this way and your accuracy will be there for you as you gain experience.
You also need to know which manufacturer to buy your bow from. So, choose a bow from a company with a great reputation that you know will stand behind their products. You also want to try to buy from a company that will offer customer support. You're plunking down a pretty penny and the last thing you need is a shoddy bow. You want a guarantee on the bow, too, needless to say. The great majority of high end bows come with lifetime guarantees as long as you are the owner.
