Match Your Equipment

Just like it is important to put the right kind of ammunition in your firearm, it is just as important to match your bowhunting equipment.

There are three ways bowhunting equipment must be properly matched:

 Bow matched to bowhunter - must select a bow that fits your size, strength and shooting style;
 Arrows matched to bow and shooter - must have the correct spine (stiffness) and length;
 Arrows matched to each other - you should not mix different arrow types. Different arrows don't fly alike or hit the same place.

In addition, you should match all your equipment to the type of game you intend to hunt. Larger game may need heavier equipment and broadheads that penetrate the body better.
