Best Bow for Hunting
Many people who are looking for a hunting bow will google “best bow for hunting” or “which is the best hunting bow.” The truth is that this question cannot be answered by an article or by merely looking at tests and statistics for all bows. The feel of a bow is a very personal preference. A bow that your hunting buddy loves and is deadly accurate with can be heavy, balanced wrong or just plain feel awkward to you.
The best and most obvious solution is to go out and test a bunch of bows and get the one that you can shoot the best. However, this is an undaunting task when you don’t know where to start. You cannot go out and test 100 bows. You need to narrow down your selection to a managable number of bows. This is where articles and bow tests can help.
Here are some great articles to start with:
Compound Bow Selection Guide - Great technical article about bows
2007 Compound Bow Face-Off - 39 page report which tests 23 different bows
Hopefully these two articles will point you in the right direction and can narrow down your initial selection. Then go out and test a few bows and you will probably know which is your favorite bow as soon as you fire it.
