Many bow sights have additional features to help in various aspects of bow hunting or target shooting. For example, tuning and accuracy can be improved by the additional leveling bubbles. These help to eliminate torque. Unless the regulations and laws in your hunting jurisdiction prohibit them, you can add sight pins that are lighted or small sight-body mounted lights to illuminate the pins when the light level is low, thus adding to shooting accuracy. Each of these features has benefits for particular types of shooting and the key is to match the type of archery to the appropriate equipment.

Personal preference

Before deciding on one of the bow sights for yourself, you should take the time and make the effort to consider how you shoot, what type of bow that you have and what your requirements for shooting are. Bow sights that work perfectly for another may not be a good choice for you and your style of archery. The bow itself may require a different style of sights than that of your shooting friend. Even a strong recommendation in favor of a specific sight should not be accepted without reviewing the options and if possible trying out the product in various shooting situations.

Bow hunters needs

Since bow hunters tend to move around through sometimes rough terrain, they more often than not will prefer a bow that is light in weight and perhaps more compact than the bows used for competitive purposes. The more recent designs in hunting bows are shorter from axle to axle and thus carry less weight to get hung up while moving after the target animal. bow sights intended for these bows also tend to be lightweight and do not require that the hunter carry tools through the brush in order to adjust the bow sights.

Competitive shooting

In contrast to bow hunters, those who shoot competitively need a different type of bow sights. Because they may be required to shoot longer distances, and may require heavier equipment in order to add stability to their equipment, they are more likely to prefer heavier bow sights. A sight that requires time to adjust and dial in is not a problem, in fact--it may be an advantage in competition. The competitive archer has the time to set up his or her shot carefully in order to be absolutely accurate and win the competition.

Combination shooting

If you are one of the growing number of archers who participates in and enjoys both bow hunting and competitive shooting, you may be better off to purchase two different types of bow sights--one for each of the major uses you make of your bow or bows. Sights are made so that they can be easily attached and removed when you choose to participate in a different type of archery activity. You could also purchase two or more sights and leave them permanently attached to two or more different bows. Since the bows are likely to be different, the sights should be too.

Learn the secret of Recurve Bows!

Deer Bow Hunt - HUNTINGFOOTAGE.COM

The 2.5 minute video is the conclusion of a 2 week chase for a specific 9pt on 4000 acres in the south Texas brush.

I spotted him on 10-27, but couldn't get a shot. I sat in my blind overlooking an oat patch more days than I can count trying to get another shot at him. Finally on 11-11, with my buddy Chris in the blind, he returned. The neighbors were dove hunting about a quarter mile away, and I think they pushed him out of his bed and right into our lap.

He was standing quartering away at 21yds and I let the arrow fly. The shot was a bit low and back, but because of the angle, it did the job.

Modern bow sights come with enhanced features to provide help in different aspects of target shooting and bow hunting. For example when you add leveling bubbles it helps you in tuning and you improve the accuracy too. This will result in eliminating torque. When poor lighting is an issue, the pins can be illuminated through lighted sight pins or lights mounted on the sight body. This adds greater accuracy to your shooting. The benefits from these features apply to specific type of shooting and the key therefore is matching the archery type with the appropriate equipment.

Influenced by personal preference

Before you set out to buy bow sights, you need to devote time considering how you normally shoot, the bow type you have, and the additions you need for shooting. Bow sights which are a perfect fit for your friend need not necessarily qualify as the best for you for the simple reason that your style of archery is quite different from your friend. Another reason why your bow sights should be different is that your bow itself can be different from what your friend has. When you pursue archery as a hobby or a serious sport, getting recommendations on a variety of equipments including bow sights is perhaps the easiest thing. But, the strongest recommendation to should be put to test and all options reviewed. Whenever possible, the equipment should be tried out in a variety of shooting situations.

Equipments for bow hunters

At times, bow hunters may need to move through rough terrain, and in such situations, they are likely to prefer a lighter bow and more compact compared to the ones employed for competitive purposes. Modern designs in hunting bows have shorter on axle to axle and therefore carry lower weight making it easier to hang up when chasing the target. Bow sights for this type of bows too tend to be lighter and the hunter can avoid carrying tools for adjusting bow sights.

Bow sights for Competitive shooting

As opposed to bow hunters, archers engaged in competitive shooting need bow sights of a different type. Competitive shooting involves shooting over longer distances and calls for heavier equipment for additional stability to the equipment. Heavier bow sights therefore are likely to be their favorites. A bow sight which needs time for adjustment before dial cannot be a problem, and on the contrary, can be advantageous in competition. Archers involved with competitive shooting will have adequate time to set up the shot with adequate care to be accurate and walk away with the laurels.

Combination of competitive shooting and bow hunting

When you have equal interest both in bow hunting and competitive shooting, like many of the present day archers, the bow sights should be different. At least one for each activity. Bow sights are made in such a way that mounting and dismounting are easy with varying forms of archery. Another way would be to buy two additional bow sightsand keep them attached permanently to two different bows.
