I don't know, Lebeau....

I caught a bunch of crap on here for saying that I would occasionally draw down on an animal I had no intentions of shooting. The main reason cited was the chance I'd accidentally shoot the animal.

I never said I put the sight pin on the animal. I have, though, saw an animal approach.....come to full draw....and let off.....just like I was going to take that animal. It's tougher than just "drawing your bow" in the back yard. Doing so in stealth mode requires a little more strength. It's good practice if you asked me......and the article I read last night reinforces this.

Letting off is ALSO something that should be practiced "live" (IMO and the BM article author). I've had to do it on more than one occasion onanimals I've taken. What better practice could there be?
