Hide-out Archery Shop Cape Town can assist you to correctly tune your bow.

There are mainly a few things that separate the competitive archer from most bow-hunters today.

Number one is the willingness to work on their own equipment and set it up from start to finish. They also tend to seek out anything new that has the potential to increase their accuracy.

Every competitive archer knows that trying out new equipment and tweaking their current equipment can result in more wins.

For willing bow-hunters those tweaks might result in more successful hunting trips.

Below are a few things that might help increase your accuracy.

Most archers use peep sights.

Peep sights improve almost every archer's accuracy, peeps with a small-diameter hole is more accurate than larger diameter peep.

Hunters use the larger peeps when hunting because they let more light through and you have a better field of view.

Another must-have accessory is a stabilizer or dampener. This helps to quiet the bow and to help get a virtually shock-free shot from the bow.

Destroying bow shock is not the only thing stabilizers do.

Longer stabilizers help balance the bow and keep the bow steady in the hand, which results in tighter groups. If stabilizers help pro archers to get better results, would it not help you?

Invest money in a proper high end release if possible.

The proper release of an arrow makes just as much difference as shooting form.

A thumb or back tension release might be the way to go.

Check out a couple of options at your local Hide-out shop.

Building your own arrows or getting help from Hide-out Archery Shop Cape Town regarding arrows that give you tighter groupings might be worth the money.

If your arrows differ in weight even 5%, this will give you a difference in groups of 15-30% depending on the distance you shoot.

I always check my arrows and get them weighing as close to each other as I can and that has given me very tight groupings indeed up to 50m plus.

Even with cheap arrows this improves your groupings dramatically as the spine of an arrow doesn’t make as much of a difference as the weight of an arrow.
