A hunter using a rifle can effectively shoot his target from a range in excess of 200 yards or 180 meters, whereas a bow hunter is limited to within only 20 - 30 yards. Bow hunting greatly depends on the archer's ability, the type of bow used, and weather to determine the effective distance to squarely hit a target. Bow hunting has been used as far back even before the Roman Era, and saw its gradual decline when firearms appeared. With the invention of the compound bow, the sport of archery was revived - especially in game hunting and backyard shooting.
Compound bows gave the avid archer and game hunter a new and challenging way of target shooting and hunting game hunting. Any hunter who favors using the rifle when hunting can learn a thrilling thing or two with using a compound bow. Modern compound bows are more advanced with its technical leverage system and composition makes the equipment itself suitable for hunting in many harsh conditions easier on the hunter.
Engineering advances have made bows as functional as possible with its ergonomic designs. Compound bows are relatively easier to carry, being made of light weight materials, compared to rifles which are a burden to carry especially in long hunting trips. Bow hunting brings back the thrill of stalking and shooting game that was lost long ago. A bow hunter must get a close as possible to a prey by using stalking skills to get a good clear kill shot.
Training on how to properly use a compound bow cannot be hurried and accomplished just as easily with a rifle. It's challenging at the most, but will be worth the effort once it is learned. If it was fun learning how to use a rifle for hunting purposes, learning how to use the compound bow for hunting is much more fun and rewarding. Even if you didn't hit your intended target right away, the excitement in itself will be your reward. With constant practice and determination, like you did with the rifle, you can master the bow as many have already done in the past.
Besides bow hunting, there is also bow fishing to preoccupy any avid hunters time when deer season is over. Bow fishing has its modifications and additions to the compound bow to make it suitable for hunting fish game, with the common additions of a line attached to a spool or reel, as well as using some specially designed arrows. Bow fishing also demands a new skill for a hunter to learn such as taking into account water refraction, still hunting, stalking, and ambush. - 16887
