I am sure you pack you gun around loaded,and you have never shot your self YET.
My shotgun has a safety and I use it. Not to mention I practice good muzzle control. Accidents can happen though. At least I don't go out of my way to invite them. Carrying a nocked arrow on a bow is an invitation.
You a real lucky or realy realy good to only have to have your arrow loaded for the last 5 to 10 yards.
I guess I am. I learned how to stalk up close on prairie dogswhen I was a little kid. Stalking up on a deer is no big deal.
There is no way I can get an arrow out knock it and draw as fast as I can shoot with my mathews.Nor has any one else that has hunted with me so far.
MaybeYOU can't. You need tosee what someone can do who actually practices speed shooting from time to time.
I can start out with my arrows in the quiver, bow at my hip, shoot 6 arrowsand hit 6 different targets at 15 yards in under 30 seconds with a recurve or longbow.I know a few guys who are faster than I am, but they're about 20 years younger than me too.
There has ben a few guys 2 that have stuck friends tring to load there bow when they spoted a deer walking out/in.
You guys holding hands while you hunt or what? Sounds like you might oughta spread out some and put a little distance between yourselves.[8D]
As for that stuff about canting your compound and shooting accurately, you need to explain that'n. I'm not buying it until you say you don't use the sights and then I'd want to know a good bit about how you gage your elevation when you can't see the tip of the arrow. Maybe you just use The Force? Poke-n-hope?
