Can you use a hunting bow in target archery on a range?
About the only difference between a target bow and hunting bow is the silencers. A hunting bow has a lot of silencers on it to make it as quiet as possible at the expense of accuracy and speed. Target bows are as bare as possible to maximize accuracy and speed. You’ll never see a target bow with a whisker biscuit for one, or string silencers. But as long as your target shooting is just for fun, then you can use any bow for it. On the other hand, you can also use target bow for hunting but you’ll have a harder time doing it. I do know someone who uses a target recurve bow for hunting, but it’s rather rare to see that. The bow is way too long, he need to put silencers on the bow before hunting then take them all off again when its time to compete.
