I agree with a lot of the previous posts, I became a bowhunter by first becoming a archer. Bowhunting is a true passion of mine, but by enjoying and practicing archery it makes me a better bowhunter. It doesn't matter how far I know i can shoot an arrow. I will still try and get as close as possiable to the animal i am trying to put on the table, simply to increase my odds of taking that animal and out of respect to the animal.
