A True Hunting Bow Test
When considering a new hunting bow or how your current bow compares to others, it can be difficult trying to discern one bow from another based on actual hunting performance. Mostly because the industry standard performance measurement, IBO speed, is based on an abnormally long draw length and an arrow weight that is far less than ideal for targeting the big game animals that call our mountains home. Here we compare six top-of-the-line bows based on their ability to shoot hunting weight arrows at ideal hunting speeds. In the end, there is more to the right bow than potential speed, kinetic energy, and/or momentum, but these are important factors that should be in your set of variables as you look for a new setup.
