If you choose to go with an ultralight bow, just remember that heavier bows tend to hold steadier. With a light bow, it's possible for shooting form flaws to be exaggerated. And as much as accessories, such as quivers and sights can upset the balance of any bow, that imbalance can be especially apparent on light bows.

Read More »Let’s start with coaching. An archery coach can teach you how to shoot and be steady. With good form, you should be able to hold any bow fairly steady – whether it’s light or heavy. In some cases, a heavy bow can mask shooting form flaws, which isn’t good either. Form flaws need to be corrected. Ultimately, what you want is a calm sight picture. You want your pin to sit as still as possible. If it’s dancing all over the place, that’s no good. And a still pin starts with solid shooting form. That’s where the coach comes in. Stabilizers also can help. Now don’t freak out and think, “Wait a minute. I picked an ultralight bow to keep my weight down, and now we’re talking about adding weight?” It is true that adding stabilizer weight can help steady that ultralight bow. But here’s the key. The longer the stabilizer, the less weight you need. You probably won’t notice much stabilization if you just put on a chunky, 4-inch stabilizer – even if it weighs 12 ounces. But try a 10 or 12-inch bar, with 2-4 ounces on the very end, and you’ll likely see some improvement. Even better, try a combo that features a front bar and a side rod. Yes, that all can add up to some relatively significant weight. But there comes a point where you have to weigh accuracy against bow weight. In 2014, I was shooting a Hoyt Carbon Spyder 34, which weighed 3.8 pounds with no accessories. I took that bow on spot-and-stalk hunts in Montana for antelope and the high Arctic for musk ox. In both cases, I was preparing for long shots and lots of walking. For the antelope hunt, I planned not to have a quiver attached to the bow, while I would have one on for the musk ox hunt. For both hunts, I found that adding a 12-inch Bee Stinger stabilizer, with a 2-ounce, weighted disc on the end, worked great to stabilize the bow enough that I felt comfortable shooting out to 60 yards. So I didn’t have to add a lot of weight – the bar itself weighs very little – to get the stabilization I needed, but there was no question that I needed some extra weight to offset the light weight of the bow.

Read More »How much weight do you need to put on an ultralight bow so that you can shoot it accurately? Maybe none. Maybe a little. Maybe a lot. This is a question only the individual bowhunter can answer. If all you expect to shoot is 30 yards and under, you can probably get away with adding no, or very little, weight to the bow – assuming your shooting form is good. If you expect to shoot out to 50, 60 or 70 yards, you might need to take a hard look at a quality, fairly heavy stabilizer setup. There’s no question light bows are easy on your back and arms. And there’s no reason you can’t shoot them accurately. But you have to gauge that accuracy to see if you need to make modifications. If you’re making the effort to hike many miles back into some remote spot to chase elk, you owe it to yourself and the game to do what’s necessary to give you confidence in your shot capabilities. So when it comes to the question, “Is a lighter bow really better?” it’s your call. Shoot what you shoot best. We want to hear from you. Is a lighter bow really better? Comment below and let us know what you think. Got a tech question regarding your bow setup? Give the guys at Lancaster Archery a shout. Check them out at www.lancasterarchery.com.
