Default RE: Beginning Archer

Here' s an idea if you want to see the actual hunting aspect of Archery season this year. Go out and buy a disposable camera. Get washed up (scent free). Throw on your camos, take a hike out in the woods (make sure not to interrupt other hunters, spook the deer, take another hunters spot). Find spot, sit and hunt with your camera. If the deer come close enough to take a picture of them with a disposable camera, your doing something right and all you will need is to learn the proper shooting techniques and ethics. A disposable camera should take quality pics up to 30 yards or so. Past that, the deer will be too small.

Again. Only do this if you can enter and exit the woods w/out compromising other hunters that may be in the woods. Be stealthy, sneaky, even try to not alert the squirrels. Sit, and wait.

Remember, If you have a bow in your hand, it' s unlikely you' ll get more than one shot off at a deer. Use the same control w/ the camera. One picture, one deer. Take the picture only when you think you could make a good bow shot.

Take the pics to walmart and have them developed on a CD. Post the pics here, with the senerio and you will be able to get some advice on what you are doing right or what you may have to work on.

Seriously, If you do things right, You will be hooked on archery season for the rest of your life.

Good Luck! If you have any questions, don' t be afraid to ask. We all had to start out somewhere. You don' t learn how to be a successful archery hunter overnight.
