New to bows (And here)
« on: August 13, 2008, 02:44:37 PM »
Hey, I just bought a cheap kid bow called Bear Warrior 2. I got it because I just wanted a cheap bow to dink around with and not worry about it getting broken. Anyways, I dont know a whole lot about bows, just what I learned in hunter ed. My bow came with these four things, I have no idea what they are. They have a groove on them that fits the bow string. Anyone have any idea what im talking about? And how do I use this arm gaurd thing? lol

Anywho, if I like shootin the bow, I may get a more expensive one, this one only cost me $110 and its fun shooting things up close. Its a 23-29lb dealy which I know sucks. But for a youth bow what do you expect I suppose. I doubt I'll hunt with a bow ever, I just got it for fun.
I'd rather hunt with Dick Cheney, than ride with Ted Kennedy.

Pretty sure those 4 things are string silencers.  And the arm guard goes around the inside of your fore arm, which ever one holds the bow.

Starting low is good.  I just started shooting in June at 45lbs, and have now worked my way up to 55 lbs.

THanks. The arm gaurd has two pieces to it. One I figured out I suppose, but then there is something else that has two holes in it. I have no idea how to use the string silencer, but I would think its pointless for my bow since the only thing I'd be able to kill is small game up really close haha.
