Answer 2

Archery vs. Firearms - and what will work for you - depends allot on where you live and what seasons the state offers ..... and how dense the animal population is. If you have zero hunting and tracking skills - you can still practice at the shooting range all year long and become an excellent shot to medium and long distances. As you trip, fall, stumble, and scrare the deer out into the open - you can take a shot - and come home with something to fill the freezer. Archery takes it to a whole new level. Here, you need to be both a good marksman with a bow, and, you need to have the skills to quietly get in close. Some states have a two week archery season before the regular two week deer season. By hitting the woods with you bow - you get an extra two weeks to get your deer. And even if you come up empty handed - well, you just got two weeks of scouting under your belt which will come in handy when you hunt the firearms season. The only huge, huge downside to archery - if you blow the shot - you get a deer running away with an arrow sticking out of it in a non-lethal area. In my state - once you injure the animal, it is yours. And if it runs for 3 days into thick swamp - the state expects you to be right behind it - othewise it is called 'want and waste' - a hefty fine and jail time. If you are a medium rare couch potatoe with no tracking skills and take up the archery season just to get the extra two weeks - good chance you are just gonna sentence a deer to a very slow, painful death. Guns are not an unfair advantage. They offer a one shot clean, quick kill. From the 1700's to nearly 1950's you didn't have seasons and big limits. People shot deer when they were hungry and the ladar was bare. Back then you might see 20-40 deer each morning and at sunset. Today, during the two week season a typical weekend hunter in Maine might see a legal deer once every 4 years, and get a deer maybe once every 8 years. You do not have the luxury of picking and choosing - you need to use a rifle to take the deer when and where it presents itself. Many towns have restricted the hunters to shotgun only - this means they can only use buck shot, and buck shot has a useful range that is very much like the same distance an archery hunter would close in to. I live in Alaska now. We have deer in the lower part of the state, the season is 10 August to 28 Februrary - 7 months long - and you are allowed 6 deer. (and just because you got 6 deer, it does not count against howm any moose or caribou you can take). I image 6 deer a year and a 7 month season is what NewEngland and other states used to have until the population of people got to the current size. Bottom line. I have always felt archery hunters were a better skilled and better class of hunters. They work much harder for their deer..... and they tend to be more careful about not taking a bad shot. Today - more and more states are requiring archery hunters to pass a basic class and practical test - this is great. It weeds out the couch potatoes that run out and buy a bow and don't practice.

Answer 3

When it comes to anything, you get what you pay for. If you buy a Ford Taurus, it performs like a Taurus. If you buy a BMW, it performs like a BMW. My suggestion would be to buy a good expensive bow that will last you a long time. You can buy a $250 bow every 3 years, or buy a $1000 bow that will last you 15 years. Buy a Mathews Switchback XT. It will last and it will be accurate for life.. No switching bows every couple years.

Answer 4

Parker bows are reasonably priced and are fantastic for hunting. You can get one at Bass Pro Shops for under $400. Get a mid-grade one, not the bottom of the line or top of the line.

You can also see what your local archery shops have on consignment, where someone has their old bow for sale. You can test them out, too.

Answer 5

If budget is an issue you should check out the used bows in some local gun shops some of them look pretty good. If you shop around you may even find a good condition Browning or Uncle Ted design.

Good Luck!

Answer 9

I would buy a Reflex or a Diamond. Reflex is made by Hoyt but are cheaper with a different riser I think, same with Diamond made by Bowtech. The Reflex Excursion looks like a good one. Probably can get a package for around $400.

Answer 10

I think the best would be a recurve. Recurves are cheap to buy, free to make and have a moderate range for the resistance. If you're making it, use pine or birch. If you're in northern parts, try to find some yew. Yew wood is strong and flexible. It has an average range of 40 - 50 yards maxed out but accurate to about 24 to 30 yards. If you gain elevation in your shot (Tree Stand), you will increase your range/accuracy ratio. You will be able to shoot farther with better range accuracy. Good hunting.
