SLING:Finger,bow or wrist
Attached to the hand, this catches the bow when it is shot, allowing the archer to keep a relaxed hand, rather than "grabbing" the bow, and risking a torque.

Arrows
These are important. You may break or lose your first set in your first year, so stay with some basic aluminum arrows-Easton "Jazz" arrows are durable and economical. Arrows must match the bow's draw weight.
It is important that the archer be measured for the correct size arrow - if you get ones that are too heavy/big, it will cause nothing but frustration. Arrows are sold by the dozen. The components of an arrow are:
A: The "shaft"
B: The "nock" - the thing that holds the arrow to the string
C: The "Fletches" - (feathers/flights) - on the end of the arrow.
D: The "inserts" - these go inside the front of the shaft to screw/glue the tips into.
E: "Points" , they are the pointy things on the end that allow the arrow to stick into the target.
.
$6.00 - $15.00 EACH
Extras:
Stabilizer Bar
Long rod or Device attached to the front of the bow to reduce torque
and/or maintain bow handle position during the shot, and increase stability.
See diagram for placement on bow. Good for advanced programs: JOAD etc.
