Woman BowhunterHunting with bows by women showed a 4.4 percent increase from 2001-06. Other spikes were for tackle football (I kid you not) off-road mountain biking, golf and skateboarding. Racquetball, fishing and paintball games were the top three in percentage growth for women.

These are some surprising and interesting statistics. What a cool story though. I’ve never seen a woman bowhunting but you always hear about them. It seems like the patience part might be a big hurdle but apparently not really big.

A little Bow Hunting Background for Those Interested

Bow HunterBecome a better bow hunter with quality bow equipment and accessories! 

In contrast to a rifle hunter, who may shoot effectively from ranges in excess of 200 yards (about 180 m), archers will usually restrict shots to 45 yards or less (typically at 20-25 yards), depending on factors such as individual ability, the target animal, draw weight etc. Hunters restrict their shooting range in order to ensure quick kills. Because archers must be much closer to their target animal, bowhunting is a unique experience, with special attention paid to the animal’s sense of smell, hearing and sight. This limit on effective range and greater degree of hunter-prey interaction create an intimacy that some hunters find very attractive.

Bow hunting for fish is appropriately called bowfishing. Many variations on standard archery equipment including the addition of a line attached to either a spool or a reel as well as a specially designed arrow make bowfishing effective. Archers need to take into account the refraction angle of their target when releasing their arrow making sure to aim below their target’s apparent position as the water gives a false indication of the actual position of the fish.

Today, compound bows are usually preferred for hunting, although recurve bows are not uncommon and usually legal. Longbows are usually quieter than more modern types, and are often used by those who want to make the hunting experience as traditional as possible. Crossbows are often permitted for disabled hunters because the shooter does not have to hold back any of the draw weight of the bow.

Cherokee Jake Turkey DecoyI was thrilled to see your selection of decoys, especially this Cherokee Jake Turkey Decoy.  These can be pretty hard to find and even harder to find at the right price.  Once again I’m glad I’ve come across your little stroe and am getting all of my gear together for the season.  For just over twenty bucks you can’t beat this one.

Again you haven’t let me down on the shipping either.  It’s fast, affordable and ultra-convenient.  No more retail shopping for my gear.  I get twice as much for less right here.  I’m a dedicated convert for sure.

Saved hundreds.

discountarchery1.jpgJust got done doing the first portion of my seasonal shopping for hunting and archery supplies and I saved a ton of money.  I had no idea you guys even existed.  I’ve been paying the sporting goods store a ridiculous amount of money every year for years.  And even then I was getting sub-par products at incredible mark-ups.  Looking back I can really kick myself for being so gullible.

But, the savings I get from you, along with the convenience of shopping in one place, makes me happy enough to forget overpaying for so long.  All of my arrows, sights and camo clothing were affordable and I’m ecstatic!
