Bows and crossbows – precision, quiet shooting and pure enjoyment

The Bows and crossbows section at KingArms.ee brings together everything you need
for traditional projectile shooting: crossbows, bows,
arrows and bolts, as well as useful accessories and
protective shooting gloves. Here you can build a complete setup – from your first
training kit to more advanced equipment for hobby shooting, sport or fun sessions outdoors.

Modern bows and crossbows combine classic principles with contemporary materials and ergonomics.
They remain quiet, powerful and very “tactile” types of weapons, where every shot depends not only
on mechanics, but also on the concentration and technique of the shooter.

What you will find in the “Bows and crossbows” category

Inside this category you will find several specialised groups of products:

• Crossbows. Classical and compound crossbows for recreational shooting and training.
  A crossbow offers high accuracy and power with relatively simple shooting technique – an excellent choice
  if you want stable results without years of practice.
• Bows. Bows for juniors and adults, classic and compound models, as well as starter
  sets for beginners. With a bow, the shooter’s technique plays a bigger role and helps to develop
  coordination, strength and body control.
• Arrows and bolts. Arrows for bows and bolts for crossbows, plus different types of
  points. Proper length, spine (stiffness) and weight have a huge impact on accuracy and on the service
  life of the bow or crossbow.
• Accessories. Mounts, sights, rests, maintenance items and other small upgrades
  that increase comfort, make shooting more consistent and help you get the most from your setup.
• Shooting gloves and finger protection. Gloves, tabs and guards for fingers and hands
  that reduce friction and protect the skin during regular shooting sessions.

Crossbow or bow – which one suits you better?

Both bows and crossbows are great for hobby and training, but they feel quite different in use:

• Crossbows are more intuitive for complete beginners: you cock the string, load the
  bolt, aim through a sight or scope and press the trigger. This is very familiar to anyone used to the
  “firearm logic” of aiming.
• Bows depend much more on technique. Stance, back and shoulder work, smooth release
  and follow-through all matter. This is a great choice if you enjoy the learning process itself and see
  shooting as a mixture of sport and meditation.

As a simple rule of thumb: if you want a more “mechanical” and powerful shot with easy aiming, start with
a crossbow; if you dream of smooth, technical and almost meditative shooting, a bow will be the better fit.

How to choose a bow or crossbow for your skill level

When choosing a model, it’s important to consider not only the design but also your strength, height and
how you plan to use it.

• For beginners and younger shooters. Lighter-draw classic bows, junior sets and
  crossbows with moderate draw weight are ideal. The main goal is comfortable, safe shooting and
  learning the basics without overstraining.
• For experienced archers. More powerful compound bows and crossbows with options
  for scopes, finer adjustment and different arrow/bolt setups will be more interesting.
• For family and casual use. Ready-made sets with a bow or crossbow, a few arrows,
  basic protection and simple accessories are very convenient – you can add more arrows and accessories
  later as needed.

Arrows, bolts and protection – essential parts of the setup

The bow or crossbow itself is only half of a good kit. To keep shooting safe and comfortable, you should
also think about:

• Arrows and bolts. Always follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for length,
  weight and spine. Incorrect projectiles can hurt both accuracy and the longevity of limbs and string.
• Hand and finger protection. Tabs, gloves and arm guards reduce pressure on fingers,
  protect the skin from the string and make longer training sessions more pleasant.
• Storage and maintenance. Simple cases, waxes and maintenance tools help keep the
  string, limbs and other parts in good condition and extend the life of your equipment.

Safety when shooting with bows and crossbows

Even though archery and crossbow shooting are often seen as hobbies, bows and crossbows are still weapons,
so basic safety rules always apply:

• shoot only in safe, designated areas or where you can fully control the shooting direction;
• never point a cocked bow or loaded crossbow at people or animals;
• use suitable targets and a reliable backstop for arrows and bolts;
• regularly inspect the string, limbs and arrows/bolts for damage;
• store bows and crossbows out of reach of children and never leave them cocked or loaded unattended.
