HELLO????
This is BOWHUNTING........it is not the most important thing on the face of the Earth
To some its an all year pasion, to others the feaver kicks in before the season, for others its a few days out in the woods with there budies. Its a Hobby, a recreation.
I don't like to see a guy who can't hit the broadside of a Barn go into the woods as much as the next guy. But many can ( I used to) shoot pretty darn good with a month of shooting. Who cares if they are making good kills.
Since when did the requirement to hunt involve devoting your life to the sport???
By ya'lls own admission you don't practice much nor do you have much time or love for shooting your bows. What the hell ARE you then ?
Uhh.........He is a bowhunter - he hunts with a bow - He is probably a good shot. I could give a rats a[:-][:-] how much he practices. You do not have to LOVE your bow to be a good bowhunter.
I'm not saying your not a good hunter. I'm just saying you might try a crossbow or rifle till you find the time to make the necessary preparations to bowhunt
Maybe a few weeks is all he needs?????
I shoot all year round - about 300 to 500 arrows a week. I know for darn sure I could put the bow down - pick it up a month beforethe season - maybe even a week - and shoot lights out. Its not rocket science - and who says it has to be.
There are different levels of participation in every sport/recreation. We are no different - and we shouldn't be.
You guys suck the life right out of this sport.[:'(]
