What is the best compound bow?
Martin bows are probably by far the best compound bows for the money.
Bull mathews is way better, martin don't even compete. If u don't believe me shoot the two and see what u like.
Hoyt bows are supreme, Mathews or PSE would be my second choice. Browning, Jennings, Bear all down the tubes
___________________________________________________________________________
I agree with who ever said that Hoyts are the best. they are the best money can buy. and you see more people shooting hoyts then any thing else.
Each individual has their own opinion, I have owned Mathews, Hoyt, PSE and Bear. But now I shoot a Martin Firecat. It is superior in speed and accuracy. I let a young man who is a Mathews memeber who shoots the Monster shoot my martin and he was amazed! My Martin Firecat is also very lightweight, if Mathews and Hoyt are better bows than why does the Rock & Roll King from the Motor City shoot a Martin FireCat. Im talking Uncle Ted Nugent! Spirit of the Wild baby. As Martin advertises they are the lightest most accurate bows in the world! Mathews and Hoyt have a lot more vibration and are heavier bows. Bowtech are 2nd.

How do you make a cardboard bow and arrow?
Caution : these should only be constructed and used under adult supervision
Hobby Bow
Needed Items :
a garden cane,
a length of string (depending on how long your cane is)
a hacksaw and metal snips
some cardboard
a drink can
TO MAKE THE BOW
- With your hacksaw make slits in each end of the cane (about 1 cm in length)
- Slot one end of the string in one of the slits and wrap it round the end of the cane (remember to leave enough string to tie a knot).
- Do the same with the other side remember to pull tight so that you can launch arrows
TO MAKE THE ARROWS
- Take a small length of cane (different from your bow)
- Cut a triangle out of a drink can with metal snips
- Wrap the triangle around the end of the cane to make the point.
- Cut out four cardboard triangles and stick them to the other end of the arrow.
- Make a slit in the tail end of the arrow so that it can fit onto your bow.
Working Bow
Needed:
1 long piece of flexible but strong wood (tree branch or yew plank)
2 to 10 straight, tough, thick branches for arrows (30cm-45cm long)
A length of tough string or flexi-cord
Sanding paper
Coal or wood campfire
Knife
METHOD:
First heat the length of bow wood over the fire
Then sand it down making sure impurities and bark is all off
Cut 2 slits at both ends of the bow staff(1-2.5cm)
Find somewhere to rest the staff in a bending position to allow it to shape (a tree that can hold it and some weighty stuff on each end to hold it down).
The object is to slightly curve the bow so that it bends the way you want.
Now sand and straighten the arrows and use knife to sharpen ends, or make your own sharp ends from materials available to you.
Leave the bow to shape for a few days, then test stretch it to see if it gets more than 30 lbs of draw.
Survival Bow:
You start by finding five sticks or branches cut to the same length (which should be roughly from the ground to your chin) and as straight as possible. Use friction by rubbing the stick in the warped areas to bend them to be as straight as possible. The circumference should be roughly the same as the widest part of your thumb. Next you're going to cut four of the five sticks to be about five inches shorter than the fifth, and notch the longest stick at both ends for the bow string. Then you take the longest stick and surround it with the other four (So the longest stick is in the center with the four shorter sticks around it)
Tie very tightly together in the center and at both ends with what ever cordage you have handy (It should be tied in three places when you're done). Voila, you have a bow. Please note you will have to stress the bow; that is to say you have to put your bow string on so the bow bends slightly and hold for about 20 minutes and repeat. Pull a little further till you get about 24 inches of pull without breaking the bow. Do this slow and easy or you will find yourself making a new bow.
Arrows:
Number of Arrows: Start 20 potential arrows. You will probably end up with 5 or 6 good arrows.
Wood: Any straight sapling, shoot, or sucker without branches or knots. They should be between 24 to 30 inches long and between 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. Shorter arrows remain straighter, fly better, and don't break as easily. Remove the bark. Tie all the arrows together into a bunch to help to preserve their straightness. Cure the arrows for one to ten days (but not in the sun) and hand straighten each day as necessary.
Point: Whittle the narrow end of the arrow to a point. Harden the point of a green arrow by charring it over the hot coals from a campfire.
String Notch: Notch the thick end of the arrow for the bow string. Wrap twine around the notch end to strengthen it and to prevent it from splitting.
Practice: Shoot each arrow at a very soft target (a pile of leaves or a pile of some very loose dirt). Keep the arrows that fly straight on a regular basis. Discard the unpredictable arrows.
Feathers: slice a line in the bottom side on four sides. Cut a feather in half and slide it into the slit you made.
What is the value of a Browning Cobra compound bow?
It depends on the age and condition of the bow. Details such as poundage and draw length would also assist. I would not buy a second hand bow that is over 10 years of age simply because of wear and tear on the equipment can cause the bow to fail. This can sometimes result in serious injury to the person using the bow at the time.

Archery is one of the oldest arts still practised. This history will not only take you through a journey on the evolution of archery, but also through the history of mankind. Evidence of ancient archery has been found throughout the world.
Although archery probably dates to the Stone Age (around 20'000 BC), the earliest people known to have used bows and arrows were the ancient Egyptians, who adopted archery at least 5000 years ago for purposes of hunting and warfare.
In China, archery dates back to the Shang dynasty (1766-1027 BC). A war chariot of that time carried a three-man team : driver, lancer and archer. During the ensuing Zhou (Chou) dynasty (1027-256 BC) nobles at court attended sport archery tournaments that were accompanied by music and interspersed with elegant salutations.
What colour is the bullseye on an archery target?
A standard archery target has five colored rings each divided in two bands. Each band of the target has the same width. The central two bands (bullseye, 10 points) and the ring valued at 9 points are yellow (gold). The next two bands from the centre out (7, 8) are red. The 6 and 5 rings are blue; the 3 and the 4 are white and the lowest, outer bands are black. When counting points, an arrow shaft that breaks the line dividing two zones is counted as being in the higher

If you are talking about the thing that you use to get the arrows out of while you are shooting, then that is called a quiver... If you are talking about the thing that you use to keep your arrows safe, then it is what it sounds like- an arrow case
The arrow will go far as 500 yrds or more but if you are hunting I wouldn't push it past 60 yards. On film I this year I took a nice buck at 72 yards. Spined him right in the neck but the shot was under ideal conditions.

There was a law requiring people to practice archery
But 3 H.8.c.3 was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act (26 & 27 Vict.c.125) [this was a law to tidy up and remove a whole range of obsolete laws].
I presume, but am not certain, that this also repealed sections 1 to 4 and 7 to 10 of 33 H.8.c.9. The whole of the latter was repealed by the Betting and Gaming Act (1960 c.60). So: The law requires all Englishmen to practice archery.
It did so once upon a time. It stopped doing so in 1863.
It definitely stopped doing so in 1960.
How much draw weight does a recurve bow have?
The answer to that question will change depending on what type of recurve bow and for what purpose you will be shooting. For example, if you are hunting and are planning to kill a large animal, you will likely want a recurve bow with over 50lbs of draw weight. If you shoot with less weight than this, you may only injure the animal and that would be cruel. Bows with over 50lbs of draw weight are more difficult to pull back and hold steady, therefore the accuracy of your aim will be reduced.
If on the other hand you want to shoot targets and need to be as accurate as possible, such as in a field archery competition, you will want a draw weight that is under 50lbs. In fact 30 - 40lbs would be a likely choice. This will allow you to hold more steady on the draw and line up your target. The lower weight will be acceptable as all you need to do is reach your target, not kill it.
Please note, this is in regard to recurve bows only, not compound. That's a whole other world.
What is a draw weight in archery?
the draw weight is how much strength it takes to pull it back which is equal to how much force is put into the arrow. so basically pulling back a 50 lb draw weight bow is equally as hard as lifting a 50 lb sack with one arm
