Every year we start again as the bow hunting season swings into action and the new line of equipment starts to get released. It’s up to us to decide whether we are going to try to keep up with the new line of accessories and equipment or stay with the tried and true line of products that we were using last season. For the most part we can safely stay with what we used last season, particularly if it is equipment that we have become used to using and know that it is reliable.

 

This doesn’t mean that there is no room for new equipment to be added to the arsenal. After all, improvements are constantly being made to all aspects of the bow hunting world and if it isn’t the actual compound bows themselves (and the speeds that are being produced is just getting outlandish) it’s the different types of arrow rests, sights and apparel.

 

So what I plan to do on a semi-regular basis is examine some of the cool new products that are being brought out by the various archery accessory companies to try to stay abreast of what is new and whizz-bang in the market. Some of these things may have been around for a few years yet, some of them will probably be the latest thing but this is as much a note to myself as it is a general notification to the wider community.

 

With any luck it will help more than just myself to understand what is being made available to help the average hunter get more of an edge in the field.
