I been bow hunting all my life and use to practice a lot more when I first started 20+ years ago. Shoot...I would get out of school and go to the local bow range and hang out and shoot my bow because it was just fun. Now with a kid and a job it can be tough to get motivated to get out and shoot your bow. I paid for it that mistake not practicing the last 3 years in Kansas. I would shoot about a month before the season would start. I would get the bow out and shoot and make a few shots and could tell I was really rusty. After a few adjustment to pins and If hitting fairly well on the target, I’d be done till I actually went hunting. Missed some easy shots on some good quality deer. Last year I got my wife into hunting and bought her a new Hoyt bow. We bought a Glendale buck to make it little funner to shoot. We practice every week. Might be a 2 days a week, might be only one day but its weekly. I've already killed my Kansas buck on Oct 13th with 43yd shot double lung. So to me...doesn’t matter if you have 20+ years of experience if you don’t shoot often you find yourself making simple mistake that you could prevent by just shooting on a regular basis. So don’t get lazy like I did and get over confident because your luck will run out. Practice Practice...and when the time comes your body will be trained to perform though buck fever and real hunting situations.
