Hobbies And Interests
Chest Protector
A resilient chest protector is essential for safety-conscious archers, particularly those who wear baggy clothing. As the name implies, these durable plastic vests are worn over your chest and ensure that your clothing remains firmly pressed against your body. This effectively prevents your clothing from becoming tangled in your bowstring.
Archery Sling
An archery sling helps keep your bow arm steady. Wrap one end of this sling around your wrist, and wrap the other end around your bow. You can then adjust the sling's tightness levels with an attached hook. If your shots are a little more wobbly than you'd like them to be, play around with the tightness levels until finding one that works for you.
Finger Protectors
Since shooting a bow can put a strain on your fingers, it's important to equip yourself with finger protectors. These miniature accessories fit right over your fingers and prevent them from experiencing unnecessary strain when pulling back and releasing bow strings. If you neglect to wear finger protectors, be prepared to deal with an assortment of scratches and blisters.
Safety Googles
While not an absolute necessity, novice archers should don a pair of safety goggles whenever they're practicing. In the event that you lose your grip on your bow and the backside of the arrow is inadvertently sent flying in your direction, a strong pair of safety goggles will ensure that your eyes are well-protected.
