In theory David has made shot placement quite clear. Obviously his 40(even
years) of experience has given him the authority, and we should all be grateful this board has members like David who are willing to provide good guidance on whathas taken him years ongathering his knowledge.
I have to agree Thanks david!
The old saying is?
Practice like you hunt.so true[&o] so true[&o]
Practicing correctly is one of the biggest keys to being a successfulbowhunter (imo)
The other Key is something that you can only find out from actually hunting and that is "
learning to control Your Nerves".
Each hunter has his or her own way of dealing with it when its time to take the shot.
Your nerves can have a direct impact on the outcome of a what would have been a fun hunt and easy recovery.
But instead end up with a long blood trail or worse a blood trail that just ends without ever finding your game But knowing in your hart that this animal could be down And that is one of the worst feelingsany hunter can go through!
Nervescan cause a hunter to not focus properly, aim correctly,follow through ,Release the arrow correctlycausing a hunter toflentch, pluck or punch the release ect..ect..Resulting ina poor hit animal.
The advise given on this forum from veteran bowhunters like david is great.
It comes from yrs of trial and errors, Highs and lows
young hunters or someone who is just starting out can learn a great deal from these guys.
Verteran bowhunters if there wise? Can also learn and share there knowledge with each other to becomeeven better.
when i first came to this forum i thought i knew just about everything there was to bowhunting.
But what i found out was Just how little i really did know.
Good luck this season guys.
