Best Reserves for the Koter CB-65

The reserves where the biggest share of animals falls inside this weapon’s class range, so you can carry it all day:

How to Use the Koter CB-65

  • Bows are quiet, so animals near you scatter less and need zones keep their pressure low.
  • Get close. Most bow shots work best inside about 40–50 m, and the arrow drops quickly past that.
  • Draw only when the animal is calm and broadside; holding at full draw tires you and makes the sight shake.
  • Pick the arrow that matches the class: lighter arrows for small game, the heaviest for big animals.
  • Big game: it reaches class 9, so it can stop dangerous animals. Keep a follow-up shot ready on bears, big cats and buffalo.
  • Small game: its lightest load covers class 1, so it doubles as a small-game gun without ruining pelts.
