If youâre new to the world of archery, youâll quickly discover that the
gear can get pretty complicatedâand confusing. This realization will
probably hit right about the time youâre trying to buy your first bow.
Youâll find that the harder you look, the more intricacies youâll see.
From bow models, draw lengths, and draw weights, to rests, sights,
releases, arrows, and other accessories, it can all seem overwhelming. But
donât worry, there are a lot of details that you donât need to get bogged
down with immediately. However, one thing youâll likely notice at any
local archery shop is that there are different styles of bows.
There are multiple sub-categories, but in general, they are usually broken down into
two main categories; compound and traditional bows. Today, compound bows
and their technology are as popular as ever, but there has also been a
resurgence of interest in traditional bows in recent years. Below is an overview of some of the different types of bows.
