Best Archery Sets This 2023 [Men & Women]

Archery is an excellent hobby for hunters and non-hunters as it helps build upper body strength and improves your aim and hand-eye coordination. If you're interested in an archery set for adults but have never shot before, you need to choose a beginners archery set for adults that makes sense for you. Here's what you need to know about picking a bow and arrow set for beginners like you.

What is a Good Starter Bow for An Adult?

Most beginners should start with a simple, yet powerful, compound bow. Compound bows include pulleys that make pulling easier. The Bear Cruzer G2 is a strong beginner option for both male and female shooters because it includes adaptable weight pulls and an overall light and attractive design. It can also be adjusted for more advanced shooting as you improve.

What Size Bow Do I Need for My Height?

Bow sets vary depending on your height and weight. For example, someone up to 5'6” or below will do well with a 64-inch bow because it won't be too long to handle. Someone up to 5'10” will do well with a 66-inch bow. Other bow options include those for someone up to 6'2” (68 inches) and over that height (70 inches). Try out a bow in a sports shop to get a feel for how they work.
