Used Compound Bows

Choosing a compound bow is an essential part step for any budding archer. There are a number of different things to pay attention to:

Axle Length

The axle length refers to the total length of the bow. The shorter the axle length the easier the bow is to hold and carry. But, what you gain in maneuverability you give up in accuracy. That is, a longer bow is more forgiving to archer. So, if you are new to the sport I would obtain a longer bow to begin with.

Draw Length

The best way to calculate your draw length is to walk into your local bow show and have a specialist assist you, but if you are purchasing a bow on the internet this may not be possible. So, for an easy estimation of your draw length - hold your arm out by using a clenched fist as if you are holding the bow a the ready. Then measure from the beyond your fist to the closest corner of your mouth. This will get you more or less your draw length.

Brace Height

Brace height is the measurement from the string to the grip while the bow is dormant. Basically the smaller this distance is the faster the bow. But, again, with speed you give up accuracy for beginners. If you are new, stay on a brace height of over 8 inches.

Draw Weight

This is certainly an individual preference, but don't get one too big for you to shoot. Make sure you [can draw the bow easily. Also, keep in mind what sort of game you are hunting as you many need to get a stronger bow to pull down that big game.

Overall Bow Weight

Again, this is an individual preference; but I want you to be aware of the overall weight of the bow you choose. Most beginners make the mistake of getting a bow that is too heavy to hold at the ready.
