It is one thing to know how to shoot a straight arrow, but it is another if you want to really enjoy doing it. Archery compound bows make it much easier and safer to practice your aiming and shooting skills. The secret lies in the cam and pulley design that is synonymous with compound bows. The design makes it easier to draw and "let off". All that is left for the archer to do is aim and shoot, and hope to hit the bull's eye.

Archery Compound Bows

Atunga, a world renowned manufacturer of compound bows, is proud to be associated with Combat Australia to bring you some of the most practical and applicable archery compound bows for archers of all ages. Whether you are a novice or a professional, you are sure to find a compound bow just for you.

Beginners in the sport of archery can start with an Extreme Black Deluxe Kit which, to say the least, has almost everything you would need. The name may not sound as a beginner's compound bow, but it is to me the best to begin with. The kit includes, among other useful things, 5-pin fiber optic aiming device, a rubber stabilizer, wrist wrap, finger guard, three aluminum screw tip arrows, and a FITA 23cm pro target. The advantage of this type of compound bow is the provision to adjust its draw weight between 45-60lbs, and the draw length between 27-30". That way, you can adjust these to your liking and level of experience. Best of all, it is lightweight.

For the more experienced archers there is the Elite Black Deluxe Kit. Its draw weight can be adjusted between 50- 70lbs, and the draw length between 27-30". Its unique feature is the split limb and the smooth cams. Apart from the 5-pin fiber optic aiming device, you also get a peeping sight. It is so powerful that it can shoot an arrow at speeds of up to 335 km/h. The kit also includes a side mount quiver and 3 helical fletched screw tipped arrows. It only weighs 2.1 kg, which is a considerable weight for any experienced archer.

There are many other compound bows available from Combat Australia, including some from other manufacturers such as Bear, Martin, Hoyt and Quest. All you need to do is visit www.combataustralia.com.au to have a look at them. It is not a matter of how much they cost, because many of them are priced almost the same. All that matters is for you to get a compound bow that suits you and is obviously adjustable.

The differences in the effort needed to operate these archery compound bows lies in the shape of the cams. It is all about making the effort you need to draw, and most importantly to hold the draw, easier and safer. There are tips that you need to know before operating a compound bow. If you handle it incorrectly you might end up damaging it, or worse still injure yourself. All in all you are supposed to have fun aiming and shooting arrows, whether it be for sport or hunting.
