Hey Eric, KustomeKingArchery.com has some pretty inexpensive bows for kids. They are called the robin hood bow and they are inexpensive. I have one for my kid and so far it has lasted for over a year. Good bow for a kids starter in my opinion.

My thoughts are that it depends on what you are doing. I use a back quiver for the most part because I can hold a larger volume of arrows of different variety in it for target practicing or just walking around the woods. A bow quiver is nice too because it keeps your arrows right there and you wont snag them on branches and stuff, although they don’t hold enough arrows for my liking. I don’t have any experience with a hip quiver but have seen them used mostly in target shooting situations.

Hey Eric, I heard hickory is a good wood to make a bow out of. If you are going to use power tools, such as a table saw and sander to get the shape, oak, or red oak, works real well. You should be able to get an oak board from a lumber store, watch the price though. I just recently started making my own bows to and find that oak works well. Haven’t tried hickory myself though. It is a good feeling to shoot an arrow off of a functional bow that you made. And don’t get discouraged if the first few bows you make aren’t up to your expectations, or if they break.

in reply to: grouse and squirrels #40722

Hey Eric, I have never hunted grouse but I have hunted squirrels before. I used the Ace Hex blunts as they are a stout blunt with a sharp edge to them. This blunt didn’t penetrate too far but it sure left the squirrel unable to move. As a disclaimer, the squirrels that I got are about the size of a rat. Not too big but that is how they come in my neck of the woods.
