etw, I have to agree about the caring. I know of know other hunting sport where so much care is given to the game and the equipment. With gun hunting you just fire the gun before the season to make sure it is still on and then go to the woods. I bet I don't shoot my rifle more then 10 shots a year and that includes at deer (one shot per season last 8 years = 8 deer). I have been shooting the bow about 30 to 40 shots 3 to 4 days a week since beginning of April. I will increase this right up until the season. I know many on this board shoot much more then I do. Yes shooting is fun but it is also because we care about the deer, turkeys and what ever else we may be hunting. That is why we strive to be the best we can be.
