Our introductory Hunting Kit is recommended by the Product Finder as a beginner package to get you started bowhunting. This budget friendly kit offers entry-level equipment to help you prepare for the hunting season. While this is a good starting point, perfecting your archery skills will likely require practice and fine-tuning of your equipment. Additionally, alternate equipment may be appropriate as you develop your technique. Perhaps one of the most important things to learn when new to archery is which hand you will use to hold the bow. For a right handed shooter, the bow will be held in the left hand while the right hand will be used to pull the bow string. We encourage you to explore our online educational resources to help with your new journey. It will guide you in learning how to assemble and string a bow as well as many other tips and techniques.

This will inform you about state regulations such as equipment requirements, archery seasons and their authorized time of year and time of day to hunt, licensing requirements, hunter's safety class requirements, and more.
