1. Portability first: Outdoor archery often requires hiking and loading into vehicles. Prioritize equipment with foldable and lightweight design to avoid being too heavy or large, which will increase the carrying burden;

2. Bow type adaptation: When purchasing bow bags and quivers, confirm that they are compatible with your own bow type (recurve bow/compound bow/traditional bow) to avoid being unable to accommodate or fix firmly;

3. Durability adaptation to scenarios: The outdoor environment is complex. Prioritize waterproof, scratch-proof, high-temperature resistant and impact-resistant materials to extend the service life of the equipment. Especially for targets, choose the corresponding load-bearing capacity according to your own bow type;

4. Storage practicality: Prioritize equipment with layered design and complete accessories, which can not only protect the equipment but also make storage more orderly and improve the outdoor shooting experience.
