Texas Bowhunting - Hunting At It's Best

By Brenda Stewart


Bowhunting is a way of hunting that was adopted eons ago by hunters all over the universe. However, the advancement in technology has led to the improvement in various aspects of the bow to make it more and more efficient. Both the device and strategy employed in using it has evolved. These two aspects have led to more accurate shots taken and better technique for Texas Bowhunting.

The first consideration when choosing a bowhunting arrow is what material should be used for the arrow. Aluminum has been used since the late 1950s and has proven to produce the straightest arrows coming from the factory. One drawback to aluminum shafts is the fact that they can be bent if not careful.

Carbon shafts are not quite as straight as aluminum. These, however, cannot be bent further from the true without breaking. This eliminates the effect of a bent arrow firing off to the side. Some arrows today are made of aluminum coated with carbon. These are very nearly as straight as solid aluminum shafts, and they will bend a little, but the carbon is likely to crack revealing the flaw.

Once you are happy that this is a sport you want to participate in at a hunting level, then you need to choose a suitable type of bow for hunting. There are a large range and variety of bows available, and if you go to any good archery shop, they will have a specific range of bows available for hunting. You should, however, consider the following features in choosing a bow for hunting.

It is also important to know the draw length of the bow being used. Arrows come in different lengths to be used with different sizes of the bow. Only arrows of an appropriate length for the bow will fly properly when fired. Arrows too long for a smaller bow will drop too quickly, and arrows too short for a larger bow will allow the bow to reach its maximum draw length, and consequently, draw weight.

Finally, what about if you're successful on your trophy whitetail deer bow hunt. Does your outfitter provide deer processing? Does it provide a freezer to store your meat until you leave? Some outfitters provide these services, but others will tell you that you're on your own after a successful hunt. Make sure you know BEFORE you're in that situation.

Maintenance. As with any mechanical instrument with moving parts, maintenance is required to keep the hunting bow in good condition. The more often you use it, the more wear and tear it will experience. Equally, when storing the bow ensure you use correct procedure and keep the bow in a dry and well-protected case. Choose a low maintenance model, so it does not become a burden to hunt with over the seasons.

For those wishing to hunt small game or to target practice, field tips are usually adequate. These arrow heads are normally either shaped to a fine needle point or shaped similar to a bullet. The absence of the razorblades used to hunt big game will also make the arrows fly a little bit differently, making it essential to practice regardless of the type of game being hunted. Choosing the right bow hunting arrow is not always an easy task. There are several different factors, including material, fletching, arrow head design, length of the shaft, etc that must be considered in order to make the correct choice of the right bow hunting arrow for you.
