For example, in competitive archery, all types of bow styles are accepted and a separate completion is held for all styles. Making the right bow choice is the first step towards deciding on the correct archery equipment. No matter what the size or the style of the bow , the factors that will be taken into consideration while purchasing a bow is the age , the draw length and the height of the person using the crossbow .

Types of archery equipment

• Reverse draw crossbow: this is one of the most innovative crossbows that have been seen to hit the markets in recent years. The limbs on the crossbow are backwards on stock and the rest is behind the scope making it appear as the crossbow is in fact pointing in the direction of the shooter. The modern design makes the bow highly stable and easy to use.
• Sights: Optical red dot iron sights are sold along with most of the archery equipment. Sights are highly useful to compensate for the sudden drop of the crossbow between the 20 and the 40 yards range. A laser rangefinder makes it easy to locate the target and clean kill.
• Arrows: Selecting the right splined arrow along with the effective point to kill the game is highly necessary. Nowadays aluminum, composite and carbon bows are available with a variety of mechanical and fixed points. Normally faster arrows use mechanical arrowheads instead of the blade arrowheads. For beginners the draw length should be the only deciding factor of buying arrows for the crossbow. For the sake of safety, it is always advisable to use the arrows that are minimum one inches or two inches more than the draw length. Always go for longer arrows.
