I have a big interest in bows and arrows . no. I don’t hunt. I’m only ten. Then there is the steps. Really,STEPS!!!
There are a lot of steps so I will just go into the basic ones after I show you what you need:
- A good bow- A good bow is the most important thing to have. My bow is a compound bow, there is recurve,compound,long,reflex,self,straight and composite bows.
- Arrows- Arrows are your ammo and I recommend carbon or fiberglass because wood is not accurate neither is tin.
- Pull pad- Two kinds of pull pads are the leather ones that go over the three fingers, thats for any bow and the one you pull back and has a trigger witch is for a compound bow. The pull pad keeps you from getting blisters.
- Arm pad- The arm pad protects you from the arrow when released. Don’t want one. Well lets see how that comes out in the hospital.
- String- You probably know where that goes but there are wire,rope,fiber, and horse hair strings.
steps:
- Have the nock of the arrow on the bow string ( back of the arrow )
- Pull the arrow back a little so that your index finger is on the top of the arrow and your middle and ring finger are on the bottom of the arrow.
- look at one spot on the target the whole time
- When you go back to shoot, pull the arrow and push the bow at the same time
- Pull arrow back to the corner of your lip.
- Steady the bow until you have control for five seconds or more.
- look at one part of the target that you want to shoot at.
- let the arrow slide off your fingers
- Wooooooooooossssshhhhh HIT!!!
If using a compound bow you do the same thing but you have a sight. Only arch your bow if you know the arrow will not go straight to the target.
My Things
- Two Compound bows
- Leather pull pad and trigger pull pad
- Carbon arrows and aluminum arrows
- Regular arm pad
- Fiber ( rope ) and wire string
I used to have a fiberglass bow but they aren’t so good.
These are the bows I have now.
I love my bows. The compound bow on the top link is a little different because the wheels are bigger than mine. Bows can be shot without pads but you can really get heart. I made my (own) rule that you should make sure that no one is in front of you when you shoot. I have a friend named C.J. and he uses my rule. I don’t recommend a compound bow as your first bow. Kids with a normal pull of 30lbs should start with a 22 pound pull . if your pull is 15lb pull you should start with a 10 pound bow. So no matter what your strength is, just go down a few pounds so you don’t pull a muscle.
You can pull a muscle in many different ways, such as by not listening to how hard your pull is and saying ” I am strong I can get a big pull weight.” I started with a pull strength of 7 lbs and now I am a 30 pound pull back. Also. You can pull a muscle by shooting a bow for a week and then waiting a week and then shooting it again be cause you cant do something and let your muscle rest and then all of a sudden use it.
The muscles and tendons you use when shooting a bow:
Arm holding the bow
- Pull back arm.
- Deltoid
- Biceps
Arm pulling back on the string:
- Pectoralis major
- Obliques
- Anterior forearms
- Flexor tendon sheath
- Abductor pollicis brevis
- Flexor pollicis brevis
- Opponens pollicis
- Flexor digitorum superficialis
As you can see there is a lot of muscles and tendons. I cant tell if I got them all but I am pretty sure I did. I know for a fact that when you use a bow a lot you will use muscles that you have never used before, and I think I have been getting stronger and I got better at just eyeing at a target without a sight. So bows can make you good at a lot of stuff.
If you want to, I am not saying you have to, get a bow for $27,$40 or $90 dollars at Walmart or online.I have their $40 one and I use it a lot. So if you want one here is a link for the online bows.
They are pretty good bows.
If you looked at the blue bow after I listed what I have, I got it for $20 and it was a $200 bow. I also go to a store called Big Al’s Archery located in 146 Lafayette Road Seabrook, NH 03874-4510
. It is a very good store and it is a little to high in its prices for me but maybe not for you. So I do recommend going there for your stuff.

So I think all I have to say now is get out there and shoot!
I think I can say that
