How to Get Started with Bow Hunting?
Everyone is new to Bow Hunting at some point and wants to learn more about it. That's part of the reason that Bowslinger was started, both to educate people about compound bows and for us to learn a bit more about hunting and archery.
As far as tips for selecting your first bow or guides for beginners go, I strongly recommend the Compound Bow Selection Guide by Hunter's Friend. It's an in depth and high quality review of the different parts and pieces of a bow as well as commonly overlooked advice. Check it out, it's a good read.
Possible Bowtech General Defect?
Just ran across this article today on Buckmasters announcing the recall on 2008 Bowtech General bows.
Here's the excerpt:
The reason for this recall: The affected limbs on 60- and 70-pound 2008 General bows may have been incorrectly machined, resulting in possible limb separation through the center of the axle hole. Should this happen, the affected limbs could cause the cam and axle to pull free from the limb causing major failure and the risk of personal injury to the operator and/or bystanders. Although the combined failure rate is less than 1 percent, we view it unacceptable and have implemented corrective action.
Corrective action BowTech has implemented: To correct this possible defect, BowTech has initiated a Factory Modification Campaign. All General bows purchased within the affected date range must be inspected by an authorized BowTech dealer to identify the affected bows. All General limbs built before July 17, 2008 will be replaced with new limbs featuring an Enforcement Collet System correcting the potential limb failure problem.
This Enforcement Collet System was implemented only after extensive testing and documentation of over 40,000 mechanical shots, on several bows without failure, validating its durability and performance.

Bow Hunting Arrow Energy Calculator
We ran across this today and just had to share it. Sonoran products has a kinetic energy bow calculator on their site that lets you select pretty much anything variable you want in order to determine what kind of arrow meets your energy requirements to get that quick kill.
Nod to dihardhunter for ferreting this one out.
Bowtech Allegiance Review
When it comes to compound bows, Bowtech is the trusted name. Bowtech bows are designed for ultimate performance for bow hunting or archery, and you can be assured that using any Bowtech bow will result in an invigorating, pleasant hunting or shooting experience.
One of the most popular Bowtech bows is the Bowtech Allegiance. Besides being built for beauty, the Allegiance is crafted for a superior archery experience. Any bow hunter or archery enthusiast, novice or master, will feel right at home with the Allegiance's smooth draw and steady shot.
The innovative Equalizer Binary Cam System makes this possible, and also makes the Allegiance superior to many other bows. Bowtech has leaped to the top of the ladder within the past few years with its ingenious designs and cleverly built bows such as the Bowtech Allegiance.
What is the Best Bow Brand?
What is the best brand of compound bow? This is a difficult question to answer, as each brand has its own feel and and build, and different people just prefer the feel of certain brands.
But from a popularity standpoint, Mathews Bows are among the most popular and common among bow hunters in the United States right now. PSE Bows are also a favorite, and are said to be the most innovative bow manufacturer in 30 years.
Each bow brand has its own unique feel, so the best thing to do would be to try different brands and styles out until you find one that feels the best to you, and is a good bow. Do you know what the qualities of a good bow are? If not, here's a list:
The Mathews Drenalin fits the ticket nicely, and is a perfect first bow (or second, or third..) for any serious bow hunter or archer.
Mathews Bow Hunting Tips
Bow Hunting World Magazine talks about the necessary characteristics of a good bow. The bow used in this video is a Mathews Drenalin, which has all of the features of a quality, long-lasting bow.
Mathews Drenalin Bows are some of the most popular bows on the market, and it's hard for dealers to keep them in stock. Someone who works at a bow dealer confirms this, and says that they sell 10 Drenalin Bows for one of every other bow.
Fortunately, here at BowSlinger, we have Mathews Drenalin Bows in stock all the time.
Hoyt Bow Reviews
If you're looking for a quality bow, Hoyt is the way to go. Hoyt Bows are rugged, long-lasting, and not to mention built for an enjoyable and profitable hunting experience. Hoyt Compound Bows live up to their name, Hoyt Bows Hunt Tough, as the manufacturer proudly claims.
Owners of Hoyt Bows can confirm this, and I have yet to find an archery enthusiast or bow hunter who doesn't love their Hoyt Bow. You really can't go wrong with Hoyt if you're a serious bow hunter or archery lover, like this person is.
If you haven't added a Hoyt compound bow to your arsenal yet, you should. Buying a Hoyt Bow could quite possibly be the best decision you ever make.
Happy hunting!
