*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you are looking to acquire your first archery sets it is advisable that you test a 25 pound draw weight bow. Thirty pound draw weigh bows are also available for this purpose. If you are not knowledgeable enough asking the salesperson to assist with measuring your correct draw length is probably the best approach. The salesperson will use a custom made arrow that is 35 inches in length and has several markings on it. With the custom made arrow and the bow the assistant will watch you draw the bow back and take the readings of the markings on the arrow.
This measurement or reading will give you a good idea of how much weight you can pull back. The more comfortable you are with the pull back the more accurate you will be. This is not a strength test and a low weight where you are comfortable is nothing to be ashamed off. In fact you will be providing the entertainment if you go red in the face as you struggle to get the arrow back. There are gadgets available to exercise your arm and increase arm strength. When you start off the draw weigh will probably increase by at least 10lbs as you are working different muscles. Getting a good understanding of the draw weight is key to ensure that a salesman is kept on his toes.
When you find a bow with the correct draw weight, the next thing to consider is the anchor point. The anchor point is the spot on your chin that you consistently draw to. A sales assistant will get you to hold the bow string with the proper grip, draw the string back, until the fingers reach the chin. Anchor points vary between individuals, and you have to let the assistant know what is most comfortable for you. If you struggle to find an archery set that is suitable then be patient and look around. Avoid the urge to get the nearest best thing as you will only be back to replace it in a short space of time. It might also be a good idea to make contact directly with suppliers if you know your exact measurement but struggle to find a suitable bow.
Another consideration when buying a bow is the weight. Ask yourself if it is too heavy and if you will find it challenging when you have carried it around for a full day of shooting? Also consider the robustness and engineering put into the manufacturing of the bow. Going for something cheap will show signs of wear soon and cost you money in the long run.
A lot of care should be taken when selecting your first bow as it is a major investment. Scan for hairline cracks, chips and fissures on the bow and its limbs. Often bows get dry-fired in the specialist shop. Avoid buying a defective bow as cracks in the limbs, loose cams, and a splitting bow string can cause injury to you and the people around you. Take your time inspecting the bow and make sure it is done thoroughly.
Finally set-up and maintenance of the prospective bow should be considered. Beginners, whilst overcome with excitement can make a poor choice and end up buying a bow that is somewhat above their fireplace and is technically too advanced. Study the product information online or in-store to understand the maintenance and setup requirements.
