Score a Bull's-Eye Using Competition Archery Bows

Using a bow and arrow set can be a great way to practise your coordination and get some exercise at the same time. You can take a look at eBay to find a nice selection of new and used archery bows for sale at low prices to suit your budget. Getting to know a bit about the characteristics of different bow types can help you select the right model for your needs.

Cheap archery bows in the U.K. come in different types to suit various styles of arrow target shooting. The type of archery bow you choose will depend on its features and what styles you might use during a training session or tournament. You can find competition bows for sale, or you can stick with a model that is meant for general use. Here are some of the primary types of archery bows you will find:

• Longbow - This is the largest type of archery bow when measured from tip to tip. See the manufacturer site for details. These bows typically don't use curves or cams, and their length helps you get the shot you want.
• Recurve - Recurve bows on eBay are somewhat shorter than longbows. The curved nature of these bows lends strength or power to the shot.
• Compound - These bows have a system of several strings and pulleys to help you aim and fire.

There are a few ways you can organise your search on eBay to find the bow and arrow products that might be right for your needs. Here are a few of the categories you can use to find a selection of products:

• Dexterity - Choose the setup you need for comfortable operation of the bow and arrow using your dominant hand. You will typically draw the arrow back using your main hand for stability.
• Draw weight - This specification is the maximum amount of pressure you need to apply to draw an arrow back fully in the bowstring and ready it for firing.
• Materials - You can find archery bows for sale that use traditional woods or contemporary composite materials.

If you want to maximise your options for an archery bow that works for you, you should check out the array of pre-owned items you can find on eBay. Buying a bow second-hand can be a nice way to get the designer model you want at a price that you can afford. Many used bows come already strung and ready for you to start your target shooting.
