Well I don't know how loud your bow is but with mine it's a non-issue.
Your joking right?(LMAO)
I have shot and missed before and the deer were right under me and they didn't run off so I am not really worried about a deer that is 75+ yards away hearing it and leaving the country
I have done the same thing silent but with all do respect? I don`t think it was from yourbow being So quite?A none alert deer standing directly under your stand when you shoot sometimes can`t figurout which way the noise came from therefore stand in the same place untill they can infact figerout which way the noise came from? Or with enuff time will most of the time settle back down and go back to eatingor what ever they were doing before.But I assure you it was not the fact that your bow is so quite! I have heard storys of Gun hunters have this samething happen to them lots of times anda gun is louder than any bow made
.
If you are then maybe it's time to think about some new equipment
.
I shoot a 04-BowTech justice with the hush kit and is far quiter and smoother than any bow I have ever used.
I am sure there are others out there that may in fact be quiter but anyhow they all make some noise to some degree. Just for the record I try to make all my hunting equipment as quite as possable.
I actually usually put scent on my arrow anyway but do you really think that an arrow that your fingers touched is going to leave more scent than the scent trail left by your whole body?
Whether or not its "more or less:" is not the awnser we try as hunters to eleminate all scent or as much as possable if we can
Maybe I don't smell as much as you
but I have had 100's of deer walk by my arrow stuck in the ground and I have NEVER had one spook from it
BS. Silentit does`t take much human scent to alert a deer or havent you figerd that out yet? (lmao)
Asfar as your body smelling worse or better than mine?With out a doubtthatis the stupidest thing I think I have ever read on here[&:]
First of all because it's my money and my arrows. Secondly, because I mainly hunt river bottoms and there isn't a rock within several miles. I have only ruined one arrow doing that in 16 years of bowhunting.
Well that sounds very childesh[&:] butsilent and your right it is your money and arrows and if you want to take a chance on ruining them them go right ahead. you say you have only lost one? I never lost any or ruined any do to shooting it into the ground? and never will! Sient
Like I said before I don't do it because it's a confidence issue but we could always compare kill totals and total scores if you think I am an inferor deer hunter becauseI shoot a practice shot
[&:][8D]
.Compare kills because you shoot a practice shot? (Come on now silent)
I have been strickly bowhunting for more than 24yrs nowAnd hunted with a gun as well with a bow before that. I have taken my share of game in that time big and small to give you a number I can`t I simply don`t know how many deer I have taken
You may verywell have killed bigger but numbers I daubt it!If you want to shoot practice shots from your stand be my guest. But to tell me it doesn`t make any difference? (lmao)
