Category
Activity
- Arrows
Enough arrows for practice and spares. Check them for damage before the trip.
- Base Layer Shirts
Quick-drying shirts that wick sweat away and keep you warm when you stop.
- Bow & Case
Your bow in a padded case. A hard case is safer when you fly.
- Bow Holders
A stand or holder keeps your bow off the ground between shots.
- Bow Sling
A sling keeps the bow attached to your hand so you do not grip it while shooting.
- Cross-country skis, poles and boots
Classic and skating need different skis, boots and pole lengths. Most cross-country centres rent complete sets.
- Long Johns
A warm base layer under ski or hiking trousers.
- Portable Bow Press
A portable bow press for adjustments and repairs on the go.
- Quiver
Holds your arrows within easy reach.
- Rangefinder
Measures the distance to the target for accurate shots.
- Release
A mechanical release aid for a clean, even shot.
- Ski Socks
Long, thin ski socks prevent pressure points in ski boots. Take one pair per day or wash them.
- String Wax
Wax for the bowstring keeps it supple and protects it from wear.
- Target
A portable target for practising at your destination.
- Thin gloves
Cross-country skiing or skinning uphill, thick ski gloves get too warm. Thin windproof gloves are enough; keep warm ones for breaks and the descent.
- Trail pass
In many regions groomed trails cost a fee, by the day or the season. You can buy the pass online, at the tourist office or at a machine by the trail.
