The Foundation to Success 


Having the correct Bow Hunting gear can make or break your Bow hunting experience and the success you have. To set yourself up for success and an enjoyable time bow hunting you will want some essentials to bow hunting. The first essential that you need for bow hunting is a Bow.

The importance of having a great bow that fits you and your needs is critical in the bow hunting world. If you are younger you will want a bow that is very easy to adjust in weight and draw length.

If you are an older hunter you will want a Bow that has a lot of let off, so that you don’t have to hold back that heavyweight for a long period or maybe you will just want a cross bow. Crossbows are very continent for older hunters that struggle to pull compound bows back, and crossbows are very compact and make the whole bow hunting experience better for the hunter.

One Step Closer to Success


Now that you have the number one essential of you bow hunting gear, you can move on to other critical gear that will help you become the best bow hunter possible. The next step for your Bow Hunting Gear will be your camo. You will want camo that keeps you warm and is comfortable to wear. Below I have some camo that we use here at FeatherNett Outdoors.

The Camo that you chose is going to play a key role in your success, because if you are hidden well, comfortable, and warm you will be able to be out in the woods longer and when you are in the woods longer you automatically have better odds of achieving your Bow hunting goals.

Rising to the Top


Now that we have the two main pieces of equipment that will help you get started and help set you up for success, we can move onto the Bow Hunting Gear that will help you rise to the top. The next piece of gear that you will need is Broadheads. Broadheads will play a huge role in the success you have bow hunting, it can be the difference between a harvest and just a wounded animal. You want a braodhead that gets great penetration with a good cutting diameter. 

The other factor that you should look for in a broadhead is the accuracy, you want it to shoot true every time and in groupings similar to your field points. Below we have included some fixed and mechanical broad heads that the FeatherNett Outdoors team uses.

There are two types of broad heads that you as a bow hunter can get, Mechanical and Fix blades. Mechanical broad heads are known for there large cutting diameters, and fixed blade broad heads are known for there penetration and accuracy. It just depends on the broadhead, and the speed of your bow.

With mechanical broad heads you face them not opening or opening before they hit the target and not flying accurate, but if you have enough speed behind your bow you can get clean pass through with mechanical.

With fixed blades you will have better accuracy, more penetration, but less cutting diameter. The biggest problem with fixed blade broad heads is the cutting diameter, you have less room for error. A bad shot with a mechanical can bale you out with the large cutting diameter.

No matter which broadhead you buy, it is important to take clean and ethical shots. You shouldn’t take shot at distances that you haven’t practiced at.

Maximize Your Success in the woods


Now that we have you set up for success you can focus on getting the Bow Hunting Gear that will help you to maximize your success. Here I am going to give you two items that you can use to help you be prepared for bow hunting.

The first item is a backpack. A Backpack can serve many purposes and store other gear that might help you be a successful hunter, as a hunter I love feeling prepared for any situation and a backpack allows me to do that.

I Love a backpack that has a lot of storage and pockets that I can store my bow hunting gear in. We all use backpacks here at FeatherNett Outdoors, and I will list them below for you!

The second piece of gear that will help you to become a successful hunter are trail cameras. Trail cameras are great for surveillance on animals. When you have eyes in the woods for you 24/7 it will help you to known what spots to hunt and when. When you can pattern animals and start to figure when they are coming by your hunting spots or stands. 

There are tons of trail cameras and for all budgets, almost any trail camera these days will get the job done, but we want you guys to be the best so we are going to show you the best of what we have used here at FeatherNett Outdoors.
