First off I want to say that I agree with this 100%. With that being said, I'll add this.

Sometimes you have to make the shot happen. So many hunters wait too long for a super perfect shot to present itself and usually that doesn't happen.

You may need to turn completely around backwards,lean to one side or the other or bend your body in all kinds of awkward angles to get the shot.


So many hunters only practice with their bows from a standing position and that's it. You need to practice all kinds of positions. Place your feet in other positions, stoop over, lean to the side, etc... Practice, practice and practice some more.


Not only does this help in the field, it makes practice more interesting. Especially when you practice with buddies. It's fun.


So many times I'd hunt/guide other hunters and see them pass on shots that would have been easy if they just would have practiced from something other than standing with their feet properly placed.

I'm not sure of your practice routine or how you hunt. Just basing my advice on what I see with so many other hunters.




I know I will get slammed for my comments but before you do that read my first sentence again.
