Default RE: Successful bowhunting in the wind ?

I've hunted in high winds in Kansas. Best to practice in high winds and learn how your arrow will react. I didn't change the way i hunted due to the wind, just learned to play the wind better as far as setting up to intercept the deer to make sure they were coming in downwind and then practiced to give me the confidence to make a good shot. I will say my effective range was less. 30 yards or in, compared to no wind out to 40. Practice if you can squeeze it in, it'll give you the confidence to make the shot.

Best of luck. Kelly
