Archery has always been a source of curiosity. It has fascinated people through
the ages and people are still very much excited about it. It's well known that
bow and arrows are amongst the earliest forms of weapons. They are the "guns" of
that era. What's most interesting is that people throughout the world discover
them as a means of hunting or war. This proves that they are indeed useful for
these two purposes and have served men well. Since firearms have replaced the
role of bows and arrows in war, archery is now conformed to only sports and in
some countries, hunting. Followers of the Olympic Games will also remember that
archery is also an event and other archery events and tournaments are also held
all across the World.

The Dangers of Dry Firing a BowDry firing a bow is the act of shooting a bow without an arrow. While this may seem harmless to some of us who are just starting out I assure you that this can be one costly mistake. The fact of the matter is that it can happen to anyone beginner or expert for many different reasons. Whether it be from ignorance, distractions, or accidental misfire of a release it happens all the time. So the question is what do you do if you accidentally dry-fire your bow.There are a few outcomes that could happen when a bow is dry-fired, the first is that your bowstring, and cables could snap resulting in your limbs breaking and potential debris flying all over the place. This is basically the worst case scenario. The second scenario is that your string breaks however everything else stays intact, and the third possibility is that it will appear that nothing has happened to the bow.No matter what scenario your bow falls into after being dry-fired, the first thing you will need to do is to get a magnifying glass and a bright light and look over the limbs especially near the cams for any cracking, or splintering. If you find that one of both limbs have cracks or splinters in them then you will have to replace the limbs before you are able to shoot again.After checking for cracks and splinters in the limbs, take a look at the cams/wheels to make sure that they have not been bent or cracked, again if they are you will need to replace them as soon as possible before you are able to shoot. Next if you were lucky enough to have your string still intact, you will need to check the whole thing for badly frayed portions, cut strands, and badly damaged areas, especially near the axles.If everything checks out and you were unable to find anything wrong with your bow then you are lucky, and you have 2 options, your first option is to draw the bow(with an arrow) and shoot it. Make note of any weird noises, or vibrations. If you aren't the risky type then you can bring it into a bow repair shop and they will have the tools and resources to be able to better inspect it for damages.In any of the other cases where the string breaks and/or the bow limbs shatter, you will first go get medical attention if you need it and then you will need to bring your bow in to a bow repair shop and you will have to replace the limbs,string, and any other broken parts(axles,cams,wheels etc.).Dry-firing your bow is something you will want to avoid at all costs. To help minimize your chances of dry-firing a bow you should always draw a bow with an arrow in it, and aim it at a target. This way if you do accidentally release the string there is an arrow in it and you have a target to stop the arrow. Also if you are just trying out a bow be sure to draw with a anti-dry-fire release. When in a group of people it is very easy to become side tracked and forget to load your bow with an arrow. Its always good to double check before you draw your bow.What is a Bow Stabilizer?When you think of archery I would suggest most of us imagine the equipment as simplicity itself - a bow and an arrow. To a certain extent this is true. If you simply want to take an arrow and fire it from a bow, these are the basic pieces of equipment you will need. If you want to fire that arrow accurately and be able to continue to fire arrows accurately for any length of time, one of the pieces of equipment you will need is a stabilizer.A stabilizer serves two main functions. The first is to hold the bow steady and more stable, hence its name. From this comes a secondary advantage with using a stabilizer and this is that it reduces hand shock and vibration. I'll explain why this is important in just a moment.Firstly we should examine what a stabilizer is made of so we can understand how it works. In the past they were metal tubes. Metal is a rather heavy material and although you want to add some weight, because this is what keeps the bow stable, you don't want to make it too heavy. So these days the body of the stabilizer is made from carbon or AMS plastics. Carbon is ideal because it is a durable, lightweight material that is also rigid enough to perform properly.A dampening device allows the stabilizer to perform its second function, that of reducing the vibration through the bow from the force of releasing the bowstring. The dampening device will most likely be made of rubber although other vibration absorbent materials may be used. By positioning the dampening material away from the end of the bow their effectiveness will be maximised.The final device you will find on a stabilizer is a weight which will sit right on the end after the rubber material. The purpose of the weight is to counterbalance the bow and it is this that keeps the bow stable when it is being shot. With the weight sitting at the front of the bow consistency in aiming the bow is made easier.When deciding on which stabilizer to use you will find that they come in a variety of lengths. The length of the stabilizer you need will depend considerably on the type of archery you plan on doing. In general, the longer the stabilizer you use the more steady your bow will be and consequently, the more accurate you are likely to be. Target archers use long stabilizers. Bowhunters, on the other hand, use shorter stabilizers because of the conditions under which they will be carrying and firing their bow.The shorter frames of hunting bows mean that an overly long stabilizer is not required. Considering some of the terrain you may be covering, long pieces protruding from the bow would be more likely to snag and hinder progress as well as make more noise. Similarly, any extra weight on the bow would be accentuated the longer the bow has to be carried to the point where it would become extremely tiring.Finally, we return to the importance of reducing vibration. Any vibration experienced by the bow is going to be expressed as noise and when you are bowhunting noise is one of your worst enemies. Vibration will also cause movement in other components on your bow which will inevitably affect accuracy.Not only is it important for your bow to be fitted with a stabilizer but it is important to have one that suits you, your bow and the type of shooting you're going to use it for. Take a measured approach, look for quality and temper your decision with thoughts on suitability and you will be sure to be shooting quietly and accurately.
