I'm intersted in taking chukar with a bow because here in CA the season opens 2 months early. Figure I will be taking any shot I can get be it on the ground or in the air. I would also like to do other small and upland game like jacks, quail, grouse, and maybe turkey. Eventually I will want to take hogs, deer, and coyote with the bow.
I'm having a very hard time finding info on bird hunting with bows. Probably cuz its so dang hard. I saw one guy on teh web site called In Flight Archery that uses a recurve with a tiny fishing pole on it that retrieves the arrows. This looks pretty awesome!
What I'm looking for is the Savage or Tikka of bows. Nothing fancy but good performance for the average joe who will hunt just a couple days a year. Plan to do some practice in my back yard too.
Cabelas has a 58" bear recurve that and cost 300 something. Is something like this any good? Kinda like the price and simplicity of the recurve. I know the other bows with cams and stuff are easier to hold steady as they take pressure off when fully drawn.
I'm 6'1" 180 lbs. I have longer then average arms and a medium build. I know I need the right size but have no clue what size that would be.
What I have gathered is the flu flu fletching arrows are what I need. I read some guys recomend blunt tips but I have also read about tips that are like a coiled wire that just basicaly knocks the bird out. The coiled wire type seem like it gives more area and more chance of connecting. What kinds of arrows would I need?
