Year of the Bow #5 — Bow Sights, Accuracy and Putting It All Together for Bears
Welcome to Hunting and Fishing BC, my podcast about fishing, hunting and other wild pursuits in British Columbia and western Canada.
I’m Robert Koopmans and this week I’m back with Jeremy Jensen and Kevin Wood talking about first steps in bowhunting. All of us have decided that this year will be the “Year of the Bow.” We’ve made a commitment to hunt only with a bow and not firearms, and we have set out to gain the skills and knowledge required before this year’s fall hunting season.
In this episode, we met up at our indoor warehouse shooting lane to talk about bow sights, what’s working for us and why. We also had a chat about the Garmin Xero A1 laser range-finding bow sight, a unique piece of technology that offers bow hunters a potential pathway to faster and more accurate shooting in the field.
The sight is not without issues, however, and we discussed the pros and cons of this piece of high-priced bow technology and whether any of us will ever end up with the sight on our bows in hunting season. I’ve had the opportunity to try the sight on two occasions and offered my thoughts about what works and what doesn’t.
We wrapped up the chat with talk about upcoming plans to get in the field in the next week or so to chase bears with arrows, a new experience that will be much different than any of us newbie bowhunters are used to …
