Today's compound bows are more than capable of clean, fast kills, We recommend bows with a minimum of 50 pounds draw and aluminium arrows tipped with multi 'bladed broad heads; we especially recommend you use the type with replaceable blades to save yourself hours of honing. We also urge hunters to invest in a top-of-the-line bow quiver with a rigid hood to prevent a serious accident from the exposed blades.

bow hunters should be able to consistently put six arrows inside the area of a pie plate at ranges of 30 to 40 yards. Be sure to practice outside to learn how winds affect the arrow's flight. Caribou are not difficult to put down with one well placed shot, but they can literally run for miles with a poorly placed arrow.

We recommend you transport your bow and arrows in a hard shell case. Targets can be set up for archers who want to check their bow sights and maintain a regular regimen of target practice. bow hunters in possession of the appropriate small game hunting permit are more than welcome to try their luck on ptarmigan. Whenever possible we try to fill a camp with only bow hunters, but when it is necessary to mix rifle and bow hunters at the same camp they will be assigned different regions in order to respect the definite needs and requirements of each group.
