Default Bow Season Practice
I have become addicted to this bow I purchased a few months ago. I shoot a round of arrows (8), several times a day. I have never shot a bow until my purchase, so my goal is to stick something come this seasons.

I'm shooting out to 30 yds....I know it's not perfect but I think I can hit one at 30 yds....ImageUploadedByTapatalk1339461542.778769.jpg

U picked a very addictive habit!!
I started shooting a bow 2 years ago; fell in love!!
I usually shoot 2 x week year round.
It's a challenge for sure; lots of accessories to add on.
Good luck this season!

That's what I hear......I have it bad..I wake up thinking about bow hunting. I want to get a season under my belt, then travel to Kansas in 2013 for a white tail hunt. That's my plan anyway.

Yes, I just like to shoot. It's not near as easy as they make it look on tv. My grand daughter is 3 but I hope to spark her interest in archery.

You can shoot bullzeye on a target all day long but it's a different story when the target has a heartbeat. My Heart is beating, can't control my breathing and my knees are shaking out of control. Then you shoot and it gets even worse. That's why I do it.

It is highly addictive!! My first shot at a young spike I was shaking so much I blew it. Second chance was a mature doe and it was the best rush I have ever got out of hunting or fishing,period. Can't imagine sticking a nice buck,hopefully this year! Keep practicing I need to do the same.

All I can say is make sure your harness is well attached to the tree because you will be shaking so much when you SEE a deer bowhunting that you might fall out! Then once you make the shot and hear that THHHHWACK!!!! You will have to sit down ASAP because your knees will have started bruising from beating together at 100000000 beats per second! Lol

It's by far the biggest adrenaline rush I've ever had! And to think my first and only bow kill so far has been a small 5 pt.

And as far as practicing goes, when you think you got it nailed and everything is perfect, practice even more!

Very nice

Craig, unless your very good at estimating distance, I would invest in a rangefinder.

I have one.....and I'm shocked at how far 25 yds is lol....I also have some tips that have a few spring loaded arms around it. I shoot at ant piles and things on the ground to practice distance also. Those arms grab the grass and your arrow will flip a few times and stop. Good practice also.
