Bow Season Practice

[Jabeaux]

I've shot at two deer with my bow. 1st kill was a 3pnt at 38 yds, then last year I missed a spike at 8 yds. That's right 8!!! Yds!!! Still ticked off at myself.

[SHORT SHANK]

88 days and a wakeup and I'll be sitting in a tree in Cuero, TX. I been slingin' arrows
since about 1986 and killed my first buck last year (spike). I've killed quite a few does because I got a habit of shooting the first thing that comes in range and I doubt that I'll ever change. As far as I'm concerned, any bowkill is a trophy. Good luck this year Bluechip and remember to follow through on your shot!

Thanks SS.....I'm going to try and get with someone to watch me shoot and see where I can improve.

I'm an amateur but love slinging arrows.

Bow hunting is super addictive, especially after you kill a few. You won't want to hunt with your guns anymore.

I just purchased my first bow as well. A PSE Stinger, can't wait to start practicing. Thanks for all the great tips here. The bow will give me 5 extra weeks in deer season here and everyone tells me once you start you will never go back to rifle. Been real busy with son's wedding and things are just getting back to normal so time to get out and start practicing before I take the bow course in August. Some real nice pics here of some fine bucks.....gonna try and take this fat arse black bear with it in September.

Cheers and safe hunting everyone

Well practicing has been going fairly well. My buddy and I practiced for a few hours and he showed me how to hold the bow; however, the first one I flung at the target...OMG , did it ever hurt..take a look at this love bite

Guaranteed, I will never do it again....practice makes perfect I hope
