  1. 1
    Be sure of the source. Compound bows are not an item you really want to go cheap on.

  2. 2
    Take into consideration the material, the length, the type of bow and the weight of the bow. These things will affect your hunting game for you will want to make sure that you are getting it right from the start.
  3. 3
    Try sticking with the smaller archery stores instead of shopping with the large chain retailers. In the large chain stores, you are usually just going to find sales people working the bow section because that is where they got stuck, not because they have any real experience or knowledge. This means that you are basically on your own when you are shopping for your compound bow. In the smaller shops, you will find that you will be greeted with expertise, something that you will not find in the larger stores.
    • Even if you require more advanced compound bows, such as special modifications, the smaller shops are still your best bet. This is because you might be able to consult with expert technicians and some fellow hunters which will provide the service you need and want. Remember too, just because you purchase one of the most expensive compound bows, does not mean that you have the best bow for hunting.
