I think one of the best bow hunting tips I ever got was from the guy who introduced me to bowhunting...

PATIENCE!!!!!!

This coming season will be my fifth season hunting with a bow, and I have shot one arrow in those five seasons. (Not counting practicing!). One arrow, one deer on the wall in five years. I have had deer all around me several times, but an ethical shot never presented itself- and if you're going to bowhunt i think you have to be ok with watching a deer walk away because you couldn't get a good shot.

So, patience with a shot presenting itself while your in the field is huge. But also, patience in your practices is very important too. I would say to any new bowhunter- don't get discouraged because you're not hitting bullseyes at 40 yards. Be patient in your practicing, and you'll get there eventually. Don't rush into flinging an arrow. Be very intentional about your stance and shot sequence, and you'll be fine when a shot presents itself. Patience, patience, patience!!!

PATIENCE=PERFECTION!
