The march of societal progress often follows the march of progress in technology. Cries of outrage and concern accompany each advancement in tech. The line of how far is too far for hunting gadgets faces heated debate.

Let’s break down the issues and the upsides. On the positive, hunting popularity has increased in line with accessibility to the sport. The more people that can hunt, the more that do.

The richness of competition also doesn’t degrade because of new technology. That some people will use gear to accomplish what someone else can do with skill takes away nothing. 

If you are the one with the skill you can excel either way. Of course, it isn’t quite that simple and not all changes provide performance advantages. Many pieces of gear are about comfort and accessibility.

Hunting as Sport

To be clear, this article discusses hunting as a sport. When it comes to hunting for subsistence the virtue is to succeed. As long as the process doesn’t destroy the animal herds or the animals meant for harvest, anything goes. 

We don’t live in the kind of scarcity society where hunting for food needs to be that grim. Most hunting is done for the sport and ethical hunters use their kills for more than a trophy.

Ethics

Ethical hunting practices come in two forms. The first is protecting the hunt for future generations. This includes not taking more game than can replenish. It also includes not ruining the environment which forces out animals.

The second set of ethics is about reasonable rules for the sport. Using the wrong weapon in a category is dangerous and irresponsible. Spotlighting and other night hunting practices have long been frowned upon or made illegal.

Enjoyment

Hunting is about enjoyment. There is a thrill to the chase, the grace of taking aim, and the thrill of a well-placed hit. 

While standing in the rain for a few hours might be necessary to achieve any of the above three, it isn’t exactly comfortable. Gear and tech that keeps the rain off and the body warm isn’t unsporting, it is simply not masochistic. 

Inclusion

Hunting technology also allows more people to engage in the sport. Women and youths get more involved with technology lowering the physical bar to access. 

Not everyone can be accommodated – hunting is still a physical activity. It requires some amount of strength, endurance, and know-how. However, it is nice to let people achieve without strict limitations. 

The following lists of technology explore how each fits into these three rubrics. A device that provides none of these is a device that goes too far. In the wrong hands, anything can be abused, the point is to establish a reasonable bar for what can still be counted as hunting.

Bow Tech

We’ll start with a review of the improvements and changes to the bow itself.

Part of the enjoyment of bow hunting comes from the skills needed to succeed with the weapon. To use it effectively, it requires a dedication to a whole set of skills involving getting within range of a target. We’ll explore that next. 

Check your local state requirements or a quick list like the one here to see what gear restrictions may apply. 

As for the bow itself, since the 1970s, the compound bow has gone through rapid advances. Some of these provide more power, others more accuracy and still others create opportunities to improve range and impact.

Arrow Rests

An often overlooked but significant advancement brought about by compound bows is the arrow rest. The cut-outs in a modern riser allow arrows to avoid the wobble that so engrosses physicists. 

Arrow rests create a burst of short-range accuracy, certainly, but their real virtue is in shots over 40 yards. Competing with the wobble of an arrow and the gravity drop made shots beyond 30 yards difficult.

Statistics show that accuracy drops off after 20 yards and reaches into the 1 percentile at 50 and beyond.

Arrow rests change a component of the arrow physics but doesn’t challenge ethics or accessibility of hunting. Some purists are certain to point out it takes less skill but nobody would say it negates skill or enjoyment.

Sights

Sighting on bows presents a more difficult issue. Part of this is the range of different sights that exist. While most bows use pins or notches, some use scopes. A scope on a bow starts into a contested area. 

Pins

Most hunters use pins set at 10-40 yards in iterations of 5-10 yards each. This allows you to aim and calculate gravity drop visually.

In the past, notches or pins had to be added and moved manually. Newer systems employ computer applications to measure and inform adjustments automatically. 

Pins create no ethical or enjoyment changes to hunting. The automatic versions are great for saving time, which makes them good for accessibility. 

Scopes

A bow with a scope runs into rules denoting it as a crossbow. Largely, the restriction in the field of view creates an issue and magnification shouldn’t be needed. A bow doesn’t shoot beyond what you can see with the naked eye.

As for adding in lights or rangefinders into the scope, these are discouraged on sporting grounds to prevent abuse. 

Rangefinders

Rangefinders close the loop in the “cheat” that sights create. No point in having pins meticulously set if you don’t know how far away the target is. 

Rangefinders make setting pins easier and also setting up a shot simple. 

Again, purists have a complaint about skill versus shortcuts that can be valid. The enjoyment of a perfectly placed shot goes up when one does the calculations without aid. For those with issues of depth perception, it creates an artificial barrier. 

As long as the rangefinder doesn’t allow low-light or night targeting, there isn’t anything ethically wrong with them. 

New Arrows

The crafting and ability of arrows reflect a sharp increase in functionality over the last 30 years.

Arrow changes are not negligible to the sport of hunting. The wrong arrow for the wrong game spoils meat, creates wounding and bleeding issues, and creates waste.

Heads

Newer broadhead designs, for example, don’t work at shorter ranges. The fins need to fly 20 or more yards to open for impact. This shapes the trajectory and acts to create more efficient kill shots.

Tagging and practice heads have become common for different purposes.

Heads should be rated for the animal being harvested. Too large will destroy the meat. Too small will wound without much chance to kill. 

Shafts

The widths of shafts have gone from ‘whatever’ to very specific. You need the right arrow width for your bow draw and let off to prevent buckling and to carry the force adequately. 

Fletchings should be colored to prevent being lost in the underbrush. Collecting arrows saves money and prevents injury to hikers and scavenger animals. 

Bow Design

Changes to the shape and size of bows while upping or maintaining performance is the single biggest tech focused on inclusion. Ease of use and durability of materials are basic concepts in the evolution from recurve to compound bows.

In shopping for a bow, the modern hunter has the option to change their draw-length, limb height, draw weight, and let-off velocity. 

Each of these once came at the expense of one or more other qualities. This is where technology does its best work.

The enjoyment of a hunt can be tuned as well. Nobody is stopping you from using a single shaft longbow or self-bow. The modern compounds bring more people into the sport without restricting or emoving anyone else. 

Draw Weight and Force Magnifiers

There are limits to the allowable maxes on force magnifiers. Part of this restriction is about harm to the animal. Blowing an arrow straight through a target may be cool, but does little to kill ethically. We discuss more on draw weight here.

Force magnification limits also exist to prevent adverse risk to hunters. Tune a bow high enough and you risk it snapping in places under load. 

Hunting Gadgets

Now that we have the weapon out of the way, let’s discuss the periphery gadgets that make hunting easier or more tolerable.

These devices don’t change hunting practices in a fundamental way. These all modernize techniques and ideas that hunters employed for millennia. 

The question with these is less about inclusion and ethics and more sportsmanship. The fuzzy line starts to appear as more and more hunting is done without the hunter involved.

That slippery slope is where the sport of hunting gives way to being a game of the best toy wins. 

Scent Control

Every hunter knows that getting noticed by the prey animal leads to failure. Camouflage is so ubiquitous for this purpose that it isn’t even included as technology. 

Hunters have worn leaves and bark or hidden in the grass, up in a tree, or stood very still since hunting was a thing.

The bigger tech advances have been in how to mask smells. 

Sprays

Chemical concoctions designed to maks smells by covering it with something else. Many of thee use pheromones from other animals to cover up the human smell. 

Some go so far as to entice by using sex pheromones to bring in target animals. 

The earliest versions were little more than scent gland secretions or urinary byproducts. Modern versions use a lab to carefully create something that animals will smell more than humans.

Outside of allergic reactions, sprays make the user suffer as much as they help.

Sprays that attract animals are not always permissible in every state or hunt. They fall into the category of bait.

Ozone Machines

These new mechanical marvels do almost the opposite of sprays. Instead of covering up the human smell with a familiar smell, they delete smells altogether. 

Ozone bonds with other fluorocarbons easily. Most odors have a fluorocarbon component that will bind and be removed. This is the basic idea behind ‘odor eliminating’ cleaning products.

Aside from creating more battery waste, ozone machines don’t create environmental issues. In general, they are an overpriced solution to a half-existant problem. 

For hunters looking for up-close shots in high traffic areas, they make sense. Otherwise, you are better off being higher up and picking more isolated targets. 

Trail Cameras

Scouting out animals feeding patterns and migration routes was once a lengthy practice. It required a lot of time and a team of like-minded hunters helped it along. 

However, as hunting seasons shrink other methods become necessary. Studies on hunting season length focus on animals harvested, not the timing of harvest. Hunters can use the non-season time to scout but doing so is difficult for working people.

Trail cameras let a hunter scout and gather data without needing to be in the forest. Hunters have to collect and download trail cameras but some upload remotely.

Tech of this sort allows some hunters to participate in hunts in a more visceral way than they would be able to.

As for ethics and enjoyment? Given the choice between seeing animals on camera or being out there themselves, most hunters would pick the forest.

Tracking Devices

Trackers, usually fired from a low impact arrow that will catch with only slight wounding are the devices that cross the fuzzy line. 

A tracking device on a proper broadhead made to kill provides a faster way to track down a wounded animal and finish the hunt. This saves the animal suffering and lowers the number of wounded animals that get reported each season.

Smaller load trackers create a real problem. These trackers are used to simply tag an animal from a distance and then track it for a better shot. 

Tracking creates a larger ethical question about leaving a wounded animal in general. It is better to find an animal than to abandon it. This is especially true when given the perspective that hunting is about population control.

Wounded and unclaimed animals throw off control numbers in addition to the suffering they cause. 

Hone Your Skills

Now a better idea about what cool hunting gear is out there and how they bear weight on the sport. Hunting gadgets should increase the enjoyment and make the sport accessible for all. What they shouldn’t do is give unfair advantages and exploits.

The post Aiming With Assistance: When Hunting Gadgets Go Too Far appeared first on The Best Compound Bows.

Deer hunting season is almost upon us.

You’re probably itching at the chance to pull back on your bow and let fly at an eight-point buck.

But if you run off to a field without giving your bow a broadhead tune, you’re going to have a heck of a time getting your arrows to go where you aim them.

A broadhead tune is absolutely essential before your first hunt of the season. But a lot of hunters have very different ideas about how to tune your bow.

In this article, we’ll walk you through our tips for the perfect broadhead tune.

1. Check the Strings

Now matter how much you spent on your compound bow, your strings are not going to last forever. Even the best bows will require occasional restringing.

Your bowstrings are under constant tension. And when your bow sits unused for months at a time, that tension stretches the strings.

This can rotate your cams, move nock position, or even bent limbs.

This won’t only affect your aim. A string break can turn things ugly fast.

Check your nock and cams. Your strings might not need to be replaced just yet, but twisting and pressing them back into position can help immensely. If your cams are out of sync, adjust this as well.

Keep in mind that bow strings need to be replaced every three or four years. If you can’t remember the last time you replaced your string, it’s probably time.

2. How’s Your Draw Length?

A lot of people use a bow that’s just a little bit too long for them. While this might give them a faster draw, it can damage your shooting form and cause your arrows to fly incorrectly.

You might also be using arrows that are too long for your draw length.

When you give your bow a broadhead tune, make sure your draw length is correct. The simplest way to do this is to measure your arm span and divide by 2.5. Then adjust your bow accordingly.

If you need help finding or adjusting your draw length, your local archery shop will be able to help.

3. Find the Center Shot

In a perfectly tuned bow, the arrow rest and the nock will be perfectly aligned. This is called the center shot.

If it’s been a while since your bow has gotten any use, your center shot is probably askew. If you let this go without giving it a broadhead tune, you’ll aim won’t be as true as it could be.

Using a laser guide or bow square, find the center shot and move your nock into position.

4. Peep Alignment

Once your center shot is in order, the next step in a broadhead tune is to align the peep.

While you don’t necessarily need a peep to aim your bow—archers survived for centuries without them—a straight peep can make aiming much easier.

To align the peep, close your eyes and draw the bow to a natural position. When you open your eyes, you should be looking right through the peep.

If that isn’t the case, move the peep until it meets your natural eye line.

5. Choose the Right Arrow

Bowhunting isn’t simply a matter of the right bow. You need the right arrow as well.

Spine

Many bowhunters spend hours giving their bow a broadhead tune only to choose the wrong arrow spine, or stiffness.

When you shoot any arrow out of a bow, it will flex. The arrow will then snap back to a straight position and fly toward the target.

Depending on the speed of the bow, you will need a different amount of flexibility of your arrows. Faster bows exert more force, so they need a less flexible arrow.

If an arrow flexes too much out of the bow they will not fly straight after recovering their position.

Choosing the wrong arrow will make it impossible to get a proper aim out of your bow.

Fletching

The spine isn’t all that matters. You will also need to choose the right fletching. The right fletching will be able to counteract the weight of the bowhead and survive repeated firings.

Front of Center

The fletching does a lot to help the arrow’s stability, but it can only do so much.

The arrow must also be weighted properly. For a stable arrow, most of the mass should be at the front of the arrow. This factor is called the FOC or Front of Center.

To calculate an arrow’s FOC, find the point where the arrow is balanced. Measure from that point to the nock groove.

Subtract the center of the arrow from the balance point. Divide the sum by two.

A good arrow will have an FOC between 7-10%.

6. Test Your Arrows

Once you have the right arrows, take a moment to test them. Weight each on a scale to make sure there isn’t too much variance.

Hold the arrows from each end and rotate them. This will show you if there are any problems with the arrow’s straightness.

A broadhead tune means nothing if you are using faulty arrows. Testing them will ensure that your aim will be true.

7. Test It Out

Once you give your bow a broadhead tune, it is time to test your bow.

The Paper Test

Hang a sheet of paper about eight feet away. Make sure you have something to catch the arrow behind it!

Shoot a few arrows through the paper. Make sure you are using the proper form.

Look at the rips left in the paper. The way the broadheads tear through the paper will tell you a lot about your aim.

Take a note of the problems revealed by the paper test and adjust your bow accordingly.

The Field Test

After the paper test (and any additional tune, if you need it), it’s time for the field test.

Fire several arrows at a target from ten feet away. Then, fire again from twenty.

Do the same at thirty, forty, and fifty feet.

If your adjustment was correct, there should be very little variation in your shots. If your shots are inconsistent, go back to the beginning and troubleshoot where you went wrong.

Get Shooting!

Once your bow has been tuned, it’s time to use it!

Head off to the deer blind or archery range and let a few arrows fly.

If not even a proper broadhead tune can get your bow in working order, you might need to buy a new one.

There’s a science to getting a good, clean kill.

And, at the heart of that science? The question of which broadhead you put on your arrows.

In today’s article, we’ll be taking a closer look at the best broadheads available for bowhunting.

From fixed blades to mechanical, we’ve prepared a five point list to truly transform the way you hunt.

Choosing The Right Broadhead For You

“The best broadheads” is a hot topic among bow hunters.

Everybody’s got their preferences, whether you’re a seasoned pro or someone who’s only just started out.

From fixed blade training models to more advanced mechanical broadheads, for improved accuracy. Whatever level you’re shooting at, you need a head that matches your skill level and your budget.

Our list, today, contains two fixed blade and three mechanical models.

Essentially, there are two categories of broadhead most bow hunters will use, in their lifetimes:

Fixed Blade Broadheads

Fixed blade broadheads are what you picture when you imagine a classic arrowhead. A pointed end, with three-to-four bladed edges tapering outwards from it, to create a cone.

There are no moving parts, and nothing is detachable in any way.

The blades are supported along their entire length, making them sturdier than mechanical models. These are considered, by many, to be the best broadheads for hunters looking for strength over versatility.

This often includes beginners and, more specifically, elk hunters.

The only concern when using this kind of broadhead is that they can influence the aerodynamics of your arrow. The bladed edges function as rudders, during a shot, and will often veer your arrow off target.

Still, with proper bow tuning and the right person shooting, there’s a lot to be said for fixed blade broadheads.

Let’s take a look at a few of the top performing models in this category:

• NAP Thunderhead: This is often touted as the strongest competitor on the fixed blade broadhead market, and it’s easy to see why.This is a three-bladed model, boasting expert construction and high-quality materials. Micro grooved ferrules improve accuracy, and Diamize Sharpened Blades are remarkably sharp.This second point, specifically, is what’s remarkable about these broadheads. Sharpened blades knock animals down quicker, encouraging hemorrhaging immediately. This translates into a quicker, less messy kill, ultimately improving your entire hunt.
• Muzzy 4 Blade Broadhead: If what you require is a fixed blade broadhead with four blades instead of three, the Muzzy 4 has design where it counts.Interlocking, removable blades can be swapped out at a moment’s notice. This makes it easy to change out from hunting to practice configurations.Hardened steel Trocar Tips, help to improve penetration. These are also handy for mitigating the effects of wind planning, creating an overall much more stable flight path for each arrow.

Mechanical Broadheads

Mechanical broadheads are designed with blades that move in and out, instead of sticking out, permanently. These edges retract, during flight, and then open once the arrow hits its target.

One of the biggest benefits of this type of head that, because the blades move in and out, they can be designed larger than fixed blades. These don’t influence the direction of the arrow as much, and are actually able to correct their course more reliably, mid-flight.

As with any piece of sports equipment, there are problems with a mechanical broadhead that can’t be avoided.

These heads, on average, aren’t as strong as fixed blades, owing to all of their moving parts and hinges.

If the blades open up out of sync, when hitting their target, this head can deflect the arrow off of its target.

They’re also more expensive, on account of their design.

• WASP Jak-Hammer SST: One of the most consistently highly-rated broadheads on the market, the Jak-Hammer is a high-quality product with a lot to offer.The Neoprene O-Ring deployment system pushes out three Razor Sharp .036″ blades upon contact. These blades are perfectly honed and aligned, and follow behind a Stainless Steel Trocar Tip, hardened to Rockwell 46C.With its ultra sharp edge, this is a mechanical broadhead that jams itself right into bone, easily. Open up a clean wound and kill more efficiently, with the WASP Jak-Hammer.
• NAP Spitfire 3 Blade: New Archery Projects’ flagship model is, unquestionably, their most popular model.And it’s easy to see why. This is a bowhead that comes, standard, with razor sharp accuracy and ultra-sharp Diamize blades. Added to that is a tough-as-nails construction, making this a broadhead that hits all the right notes.This bowhead’s reputation for flying “like a guided missile” from a bow is well deserved.
• Ramcat Broadheads: Topping lists of bowheads people switch to when they’re wanting to make a change, the Ramcat is a highly sought-after product with a great design.This is, hands down, one of the most accurate mechanical arrowheads in the world. Strong, fast, and affordable, this is quickly becoming one of the most popular broadheads on the market.

Choosing The Best Broadheads: A Question of Taste

Ultimately, the type of arrowhead you settle on comes down to a question of what you want to do with it.

We hope you’ve gotten something rewarding out of this in depth look at the best broadheads on the market, right now.

From fixed blades to mechanical, and everything in between, there’s a world of possibilities out there.

For those of you trying to find something for your first hunt, there’s no beating the stability of a fixed blade.

For those with some mileage on their bows, maybe you want to make a change to the way you’ve been doing things. Perhaps you’re a perfect candidate for a shiny new mechanical broadhead.

Whatever the case, remember to prioritize aim and strive for a more efficient kill.

From bows to broadheads, your choice of equipment is a reflection of you.

It’s important to get it right.

The post Buyer’s Guide: The 5 Best Broadheads of 2017 appeared first on The Best Compound Bows.

Deciding which style of bow to purchase and train with is an essential decision for any new archer, and it’s important to understand the very significant differences between the two. The first step in making this decision is of course what the archer intends to focus upon – if hunting game is the ultimate objective, then of course hunting bows are the route to follow. On the other hand accuracy and target archery will need practice with bows intended for that purpose. Here we’ll take a look at the key differences between the two bow styles and present the pros and cons for both.

The Key Differences

In absolute layman’s terms the essential difference between hunting and target bows comes down to a compromise between power and accuracy. Hunting bows are designed to fire heavier arrows (usually with serrated heads) that will impact with more force than a standard projectile. On the other hand target bows fire much lighter, slimmer arrows with a very precise pointed tip. Naturally these are lighter and generally more aerodynamically stable when in flight, allowing for even further accuracy.

Comparative Accuracy

There’s quite considerable debate over whether hunting or target bows demand a greater level of skill when it comes down to accuracy. You’d expect at first glance that target bows demand greater precision – after all they have much more variable sights that involve moving pins in order to ascertain as accurate a range as possible. On more advanced bow optics these can be extremely precise and require plenty of practice to learn how to use them with consistent accuracy.

On the other hand the majority of hunting bows incorporate fixed sights that are usually variable over just three approximate ranges (near, medium, far). This is mainly because the hunting style of archery requires an approximate target hit rather than being utterly clinical within the inch. There’s a strong argument that hunting bows require a greater level of natural skill when taking a shot, as there’s a much greater degree of instinct involved than with that used in target archery. It’s a debate that’ll never be settled, but serves to highlight the inherent differences between the disciplines.

The Power/Accuracy Compromise

Hunting bows require more power – usually anywhere between 60-80lbs on the draw. Target bows are usually around a third less powerful. The logic behind this is that obviously a hunting archer wants to make sure his prey goes down, while a target archer benefits from a lower velocity because it reduces the vibration and resonance that can affect the flight of their arrow.

Over shorter ranges the difference may not be especially noticeable but over longer distances target archers generally have a far higher accuracy. Bear in mind also that weather and wind will play a major role in affecting accuracy; hunting arrows suffer less deviation due to their greater weight and speed, target archery depends upon taking these factors into account when aligning sights and range.

Ease Of Use

Hunting bows are shorter, designed to be portable and easy to carry when stalking prey. Target bows are designed for more static range firing, are often considerably larger and with more ergonomic grips to assist with encouraging a comfortable stance. An absolute beginner will find it much easier to pick up and use a hunting bow with any degree of competence rather than a target bow, which can take a great deal of practice before being able to consistently achieve good groupings.

Bear in mind that the bow market is vast and there’s a huge variety of hybrids and adaptable’s that allow for a great deal of modification to be made depending upon individual preferences. In regards to pricing it’s sensible to spend towards the higher end of the budget when considering a target bow as the core materials used in the manufacture will be essential in helping with accuracy. Good quality hunting bows can be found for considerably less, just be sure to opt for as much draw power as possible.

Introduction

Have you ever thought of investing in a bow or perhaps wondered what some of the benefits of owning such a tool would have for your regime? Well, the following are some of the tangible benefits of owning such a tool. The added benefit is that these things nowadays come with contemporary and exclusive designs that make them ideal for a broad spectrum of uses. In fact, since the dawn of the first bow to hit the consumer market, the overall feature set of these things has been improving thereby making them noteworthy additions for any outdoor enthusiast.

3 Reasons to Own a Bow and Arrow

Bow hunting

Bow hunting simply refers to using the bow and arrow when hunting for target animals. In this case, the accuracy level of the hunter is typically impacted by factors such as the bow strength, weather, arrow type, target animal and the individual’s ability. Besides that, it usually involves the bow hunter walking on the ground slowly when searching for game and stalking it carefully waiting for the right moment to strike. Hunters in such a situation are often advised to put on camouflage clothing and move in the upwind direction such that game animals cannot catch wind of them. However, the bow and arrow can also be beneficial when used for still-hunting, whereby the hunter sits in one position and waits patiently for the target to come within shooting range. Bow hunting also encompasses activities such as bow fishing. Simply put, this refers to the using equipment that is integrated onto a reel or spool that features an exclusive design ideal for hunting fish or various other types of water-based animals.

Leisure Sport

Another significant benefit of owning a bow and arrow is that you have an excellent opportunity to engage in leisure sports. For instance, you might participate in activities such as modern day archery whereby competitors shoot arrows at designated targets and are frequently tested for accuracy. Shooting sports are simply competitive sports that involve tests for accuracy and speed by using a broad spectrum of bow and arrows. The competitors at such events can win prestigious prices, and it is a global event that is overseen by the World Archery Federation.

For protection

Some of the bows and arrows that are available out there on the consumer market come with excellent designs as well functionalities that make them excellent protection devices. In fact, when you are out camping or perhaps hiking, the bow and arrow can serve as an excellent deterrent for threats and is a much safer options that owning a rifle. The added benefit is that the bow and arrow are also compact sized and more affordable than most of the conventional protection methods available out there on the consumer market.

Conclusion

Finally, if you are have the hobby of shooting at targets or you perhaps love the outdoors, then you might want to own a bow and arrow. This is because these things come with unique design and special features that make them perfect for your unique needs. Besides that, they are readily available in the consumer market and affordable prices.
