Jimmy the foot, you bring up a very good point. Confidence. I won't hunt in a heavy downpour, but a light rain never kept me out of the stand. Snow.....show me the way to my stand. I shoot year 'round. I practice and try to simulate as many scenerio's as I can during the off season. Clothing, shooting out of the tree, weird angles etc. By the time season rolls around I'm more than confident thatI can make the shot. I'm still very picky about shot selection, but I'm confident that when I choose to let the arrow go, its going where its intended. I remember when I first started bowhunting, I was skittish about taking the shot and I wounded a couple of animals. Since then, I got addicted to this sport, started shooting all the time and have confidence in my abilities.
