I like it

archer here... I kill and hunt just as much as everyone else, but won't accept "getting close" as an excuse for poor shooting... I've killed animals directly under me, an from the ground less than 5 yards... Of course I wanna get close every shot, but I I see a deer o turkey at a distance known as "far" to most, I will not let my attitude get in the way

I will evaluate the situation, and if the outcome seems like it will be good on mine and the animals part, I will shoot with the intent on recovery... Knowing your ability as an archer in the woods is vital for good judgement on "to shoot or not to shoot". If u shoot alot, you know your probability much better
