You cannot be an archer if you don’t invest in quality equipment. However, choosing the right equipment can be a daunting task especially if you are still starting this hobby. This chapter will discuss the types of equipment that you need to get in order to start this hobby.

Bow
Each type of archery requires a particular bow to be used. To help you look for a good bow, you need to ask someone who has more experience in this sport. There are many things to consider when choosing the right bow but if you are still starting, the most important factor to consider is to determine how long your arrows should be. As a beginner, it is crucial to use arrows that are at least one inch longer than the draw length. The thing is that you need to choose longer arrows.

Three Types of Bows
There are three types of bows that you can choose from. It is important that you understand the different types of bows that you should choose in order to practice the type of archery that you want.  Below is a discussion on the different types of bows used in archery.

Compound bows:
A compound bow is a modern bow that uses a system of pulleys and cables to bend the limbs. The central mount of the components of the bow is called a riser made from a combination of magnesium, aluminum and carbon fiber. The limbs of the compound bow are stiffer compared to the other types of bows thus making it more energy-efficient and allow users higher accuracy in shooting arrows.

Recurve bows:
Recurve bow is a type of bow that come with limbs that curve away from you when unstrung. This type of bow stores more energy as well as deliver it more efficiently resulting to greater speed when the arrow is released.  Recurve bows make more noise when the arrow is released. This type of bow is the only type of bow allowed in the Olympic Games. It can also be used in 3D archery, bow hunting

and field archery.

Traditional bows:
Archers can use a traditional bow for all types of archery. In fact, traditional bows are used during the early times. One of the most common examples of traditional bows is longbows. Today, there are many designs of longbows that are available in sporting goods stores.

How to Choose the Right Draw Length
Draw length refers to the distance between your grip when holding a bow at full draw and the bowstring. It is important to choose the right draw length to improve your form, consistency as well as accuracy. To choose the right draw length for your bow, below are the tips that you need to take note of.

- Hold out your arms sideward away from your body.
- Measure the distance from the longest fingertip on your left hand to your right hand.

How to Determine Your Eye Dominance
Shooting with both eyes for archers is optimum but the problem is that not everyone can shoot with both eyes open. It is therefore important that you know your dominant eye so that you can train yourself on how to shoot your arrows. Below are easy steps on how you can test your eye dominance.
- Go in an area where your sight does not have any obstacles at least 10 or 20 feet away.

- Hold out your arms in front of you at an eye level. Make sure that the palms are facing away.
- Bring your hands together to form a V-shaped hole by means of overlapping your fingers.
- Choose an object in front of you and look at the object with both eyes through the hole that you made with your hands.
- While remaining your focused on the object with both eyes opened, close one eye and take note of what happens. Do this for both eyes.

When you closed one eye, the object will likely disappear or will tend to move to one side. Your dominant eye is the one that can keep the object stationary within the window you have created using your hands.
