Until now I have only recommended generic products that are made by many companies, but now I will tell you more specific products and brand names that you should look for. Starting with arrows, there are two main names when it comes to arrows they are Easton and Carbon Express. Easton, related to the baseball bat company, makes a very high quality arrow that is very consistent and accurate. I have shot Easton all of my life so I am kind of partial to this brand. Carbon Express is still a very good arrow company that produces more of a commercial grade arrow that can be easily found at large archery shops.
When it comes to bows there are many manufactures out there that are competing for you. It is very important that when you are selecting a bow that you find one that fits you. Some of the “name brands” of bow companies are Hoyt, Mathews, PSE, and Bowtech. These four companies are high quality bows that can be used for recreation or competition. The company that I have dealt with the most has been Hoyt. Hoyt makes very reliable and accurate bows that are used in both competition and hunting. I personally have owned nine Hoyt bows and have yet to have a major problem with any of them. The other bows are still good but I personally have never owned them so it is hard for me to say “this one is better than that one” and not be biased. However I can say that a majority of professional archers select their bows from one of the four companies listed above. These bows can be seen online or at your local archery shop, but they are usually harder to find at large hunting stores.
Sights are very important especially when you are competing. Two main sight makers are Sure-Loc and Toxonics. Once again I am more partial to Sure-Loc because it is the only sight that I have ever owned. Sure-Loc has a wide variety of sights that can be used year around in both hunting and both indoor and outdoor competition. Toxonic does make very good sights that can be used for hunting and competing. Most of these sight’s will only be found at a local archery shops and are less likely to be found at large hunting stores.
The best place to find quality archery equipment is at a reliable local archery shop. They tend to know more about the sport and are usually experienced archers themselves. The down side to this is they tend to charge a little bit more because they are usually the owners, but this little extra money spent is worth it in the long run.
