a skeet field is about the closest you can get to dove practice...

but doves with a bow?!?!?! holy cow man!!


i would get some dove decoys and perch them in tree limbs and practice hitting them...thats about the only way i could ever imagine dove hunting with a bow!! lol

Most people can't doves with a shotgun let alone a bow.You are going to be chasing down alot of arrows.If your trying to
shoot them on the ground or out of a tree I don't thing you will be able to get close enough, if you do get close enough
they will be gone before your arrow gets there.

Agreed!!! I hunt the little boogers with a shotgun and I am a very good shot with a scatter gun and I miss them with that.

I agree, you might have a chance if your shooting them out of a tree, but because of safety reasons (unless your the only one in the field) your shots will be limited....

I shot several doves a couple years ago while sitting in a ground blind at a water hole waiting on antelope to show. I used judos and all the shots were within 15 yards. BUT shooting them on the wing with a bow, all I got ta say is GOOD LUCK!!

Set up a bird feeder 20 yards from your tree stand, use those bird heads that look like a four leaf clover.
