LOL, you're probably right! I guess I'm lucky enough to be self employed and able to take off whatever time I need. I also have a lighted outdoor range. After the time change, it' dark here by 6:00, and it's pretty easy for me to fling 30-40 arrows when I'm done hunting. I'm also lucky that I can get by on about 4-5 hours of sleep without too much problem.

As far as making the first shot count. I agree, it's by far the most important. It's just that I don't stop there. I shoot for another 15 to 20 minutes to help with that first shot the next day. Most of us can find time for what's important to us. During bow season, out of the 19-20 hours I'm awake each day, I can usually find time to put about 3 of it towards hunting and about 20 minutes of it towards shooting. I even find time to come to this forum during the season, and I'd cut this before I'd cut out my time shooting or hunting.
