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.
