Bought this bow, and would like to know if its acceptable for a first time bow hunter for deer? Dad is like 50+ for reference, and neither of us have experience with bows just guns. Any accessories should I get for the bow? |
I don't know a whole helluva lot about Martins but this one looks pretty good for a nice starter bow.
Get a good release, (if you plan on finger-shooting then get some I those rubber string knobs called "No Gloves").
You'll want a good stationary site, something use friendly.
Also get a peep site installed on the string. It helps with accuracy and keeps you're rest point consistent when you draw the bow.
Wax your strings after each use.
Buy 20 arrows, (I use Easton carbons) and always use the same weight arrowheads.
There's a million other things you need, (a good quiver, dampeners, etc) but you'll acquire them and figure everything out over time. The sport can get expensive once you really get into it. Iowanian is a great guy to know when it comes to this stuff. Make friends with him...
