Compound Hunting Bow | Bows and Arrows for Big Game and Small Game Hunting

Compound Hunting Bows. Bows and Arrows for Big Game and Small Game Hunting

Bow hunting is a discipline within archery focused on hunting animals, usually with compound bows. High-powered compound bows between 50 and 70 pounds are used for big game, and around 45 pounds for small game. It can be practiced both during the day and at night, with red and ultraviolet lights used at night to avoid revealing the archer’s position to the animals being hunted. The colors used in bow hunting for equipment are black and camouflage, which blend better with the foliage and darkness. It is important not to use shiny metals as they would reveal our position.


Compact Compound Hunting Bows

Compound hunting bows, both for big game and small game, are compact and high-powered bows. The size reduction helps with better maneuverability of the bow in the foliage, and their high power allows for hunting large game.

Arrows for bow hunting are typically carbon arrows with screw-in hunting tips attached to an insert anchored to the arrow shaft. The fletchings used are artificial. At night, it’s important to use luminous nocks, and during the day, bright-colored fletchings are used to easily locate the arrow.



Hunting Tips for Arrows

Big game and small game hunting tips for arrows are screw-in tips with blades or other tips in various shapes for specialized uses within hunting.

Luminous Nocks for Arrows

Luminous nocks are used in low or no visibility situations when hunting. These nocks light up or activate when the arrow is shot, revealing its position relatively clearly in the dark.

Fletchings for Hunting Arrows

Fletchings for hunting arrows are usually made from artificial materials like plastic. These materials are typically technical as they help improve the arrow’s flight performance. Bright-colored fletchings are used to better locate the arrows in the foliage.


Arrow Shafts for Hunting Arrows

The most commonly used shafts are made of carbon and should be selected with an appropriate stiffness for the power of our hunting bow. For small game hunting, we typically see bow powers around 45 pounds, and for big game hunting, starting from 60 pounds for wild boars and similar animals. For hunting very large animals, such as in a safari, the draw weight usually starts at 90 pounds.

Hunting Quiver for Compound Bow

Hunting quivers for compound bows are important accessories that attach and detach from the bow using a fastening mechanism and are specially designed to carry arrows with hunting tips. They are also made from materials resistant to weather conditions. These hunting quivers can generally hold between 4, 5, and 6 hunting arrows.

Hunting Sight for Compound Bow

Hunting sights for compound bows are designed for both daytime and nighttime hunting. They are well-suited to withstand weather conditions and wear from the outdoors. They come with fiber optic pins that collect ambient light or light from a small ultraviolet flashlight and project it to the end of the pin, serving as a sighting point on the sight to aim accurately in low visibility situations.

Wrist Release for Bow Hunting

The wrist release for bow hunting consists of a strap that attaches to the wrist of the hand used to shoot, and a trigger that hooks onto the string loop of the compound bow. Once the string is drawn with an arrow, pulling the trigger releases the string and loop, causing the arrow to be shot. The materials used for releases are synthetic and stainless metals that are resistant to weather conditions.

Arrow Rest for Compound Bow Hunting

Arrow rests for hunting bows are designed for situations where we may need to shoot from the side or walk without the arrow falling off, which could cause an accident. These rests are specifically made for hunting and are highly resistant to weather conditions. Some models, such as those with brushes, are used to secure the arrow more firmly. Others have a “U” shape with a horizontal rod above, which holds the arrow in place until it’s released; once the bow is shot, the “U” frees the arrow and it is launched into the air.

Hunting Stabilizer for Compound Bow

Hunting stabilizers for compound bows are shorter or more compact than those used in other archery disciplines. Having a more compact stabilizer allows for easier movement with the bow through the foliage in nature.

In hunting stabilizers for compound bows, we can see weights and dampers. The weights help provide greater stability to the bow, while the dampers reduce and absorb the vibrations when the arrow is shot, resulting in less impact on the archer’s wrist and a quieter shot.

Hunting Arm Guard for Compound Bow

Arm guards for securing the compound hunting bow to the hand and wrist are ideal accessories to prevent slipping and dropping the bow when the archer shoots. The best arm guards for bow hunting are made of synthetic materials that are resistant to weather conditions and come in black or camouflage colors.

Backpack or Case for Compound Bow Hunting

The most recommended backpacks or cases for storing a compound hunting bow are hard cases with foam interior and compartments for all accessories and arrows. However, if you are looking for a more affordable option, a soft backpack with pockets can also be used to transport the compound bow. Common materials include plastics and other synthetics, and the colors are typically black or camouflage.

Peep Sight for Compound Bow Hunting

Peeps are round pieces with a hole in the middle that are placed on the string at eye level when the bow is drawn, helping with aiming. Aiming with a peep involves aligning the eye with the peep, the sight, and the target. In bow hunting, the peeps can be slightly larger and may include an alignment tool.

Silencers and Dampers for Compound Hunting Bow

Silencers for compound hunting bows are pieces that are placed on the string and serve to dampen the impact of the string with the air by creating turbulence, thereby breaking the air resistance, which reduces the noise at the moment of release when shooting the bow. They come in different shapes, such as star-shaped, pom-pom, etc.

Dampers for compound hunting bows are made from highly vibration-absorbing materials that activate when the arrow is shot, and the resulting forces are dispersed through the bow and the archer’s arm. Dampers can be placed almost anywhere on the bow and help reduce the impact at release, thus decreasing the noise.

String and Cables for Compound Hunting Bow

The string and cables for a compound hunting bow are custom-made for the specific bow or are specific strings designed for that particular bow. They are built to withstand high forces during the shot and to hold the bow drawn, as we may need strings that can resist the 50-70 pounds that a compound hunting bow can have.

Additionally, there are two more cables custom-made for the bow that assist with the bow’s draw and reduce the energy that the string has to bear.


Hunting Knives

Hunting knives, depending on their shape and function, will serve different purposes. We can find knives with specific uses, such as for finishing, skinning, or head removal, etc. However, the most convenient are usually multi-purpose hunting knives to reduce the number of different knives that need to be carried during bow hunting.


Nock for Compound Hunting Bow

The nock is the point marked on the string where the arrow’s nock should rest and attach. To install a nock, a fistmele rule is typically used, which is specifically designed for placing the nock. The nock, or serving point, is created by a loop.

Loop for Compound Hunting Bow

The loop is a short additional string that attaches to the bowstring at the nock level and is used to tension the string with a release aid, whether it is hand-held or wrist-style.
