am i ready?
Pat B:
When I get about a month out from the beginning of the season I limit my shooting to one shot a day or one in the morning and one in the evening. By doing this I really concentrate on making it a kill shot. Pick a spot and drill it!
Change the distances and angle from your stand so each shot is totally different from any other. You never know when or where your shot will present itself...and take the first, good shot that comes along. Sometimes, waiting for a better shot is a looooooong wait...but, know your limitations.

Through the years, WE'VE ALL GOTTEN IN OUR OWN LITTLE CLICK WHEN IT COMES TO OUR SHOOTING. When it comes to the ways How, when,where we practice. We've all did this through just shooting through the years we all evoled to where and how we all shoot now.
No ones really totally right. You have to fond your own click.
If I'd have to say that stump shootings the very best practice you can do. If you think your good across the yard where you know the distance's. Get a judio and take a walk. Way more exercise than walking 20 yards to pull your arrow's.
You'll find out your not as good as you throught.
Plus I just love to walk. I'm sure we can all use the exerices.
Like I said before it comes down to how much you want it. How far your welling to take it.
Not a lot of people have killed a buck or gobbler with there own made bow. Once I shot my first deer a 6 point with my own osage bow. I knew what trail I wanted to take. That was 23 years ago.

If you shoot good most of the time I'd say get out and hunt, you will konw when to take the shot. Hunting is the Best.

I've never killed a game animal(cept a skirl or 2)with a bow or primitive arrow of my making...or anyone else either. Not that I haven't tried. It just ain't happened.

so i went on a sort of dry run hunt today by accident. i was slinging a few arrows and a good size doe appears on my property. the wind was in my favor so i put on a stalk, bow in hand, keeping it as true to a real hunt as i could. low and slow moving from cover to cover i closed from seventy yards into around ten, easy peasy. i have to say that drawing that circle on my board and shooting for the kill a few times and quitting is sure making me feel better about a hunt. we will see how it goes by the time the season rolls around
