Generally
people buy used or cheap bows to start off with, but this can be as expensive
as buying the top of the line brand new. Ever heard the saying "penny wise
pound foolish" or "goedkoopkoop is duurkoop!"...?
Most
sellers don't inform the buyer of all they need to know, they just want to get
rid of the said items.
You
need to purchase products specific to your needs. For example, equipment for
indoor archery will not be similar to equipment for outdoor archery. Depending
on the type of archery that you want to practice, you need to purchase archery
accessories or equipment that fits the style and purpose of your endeavors.
For
help in this regard please feel free to contact Archery Western Cape.
Archers
generally need to take a look at a couple of things when buying new or used
bows and equipment.
The
most important is to check if the item you want to buy is going to fit your bow
or the purpose you want to use it for.
Ask
yourself:
What
do I want to use this item for?
Can
I use this item- will it fit my build- Draw Weight or Draw Length?
Will
this item fit my bow and style of shooting?
Will
it last for the duration I want to use it?
Might
there be a slightly better item than this to use?
Archers
need to practice with their own personalized equipment, because you get to know
every inch of your equipment and this makes you a more efficient archer in the
end.
It
takes time to get used to new equipment.
So,
choose wisely and if you're in the middle of a competitive season, don't just
buy something and expect to win competitions with it.
For
Example: If a professional buys a new release, he/she practices with that
release for more than 4 months before going to a competition with it.
