Default RE: Practice Holding your draw

ORIGINAL: wis_bow_huntr

Being able to hold your draw is one of the biggest factors with bow hunting. If you draw too early, they may bust you or in your case you may have to hold too long. ............... is there anything you can do different for your setup? Can you turn your stand so it facces a group of trees where the deer are comming through? Try changing your stand setup.
On the contrary, this was a perfect set up. The deer were comming down a trail and were going to cross directly (12:00) in front of me at 25 yards. They were moving slow and easy. I had trees at 9:00, 10:30, 1:00 and 2:30. When the deers head was blocked by 10:30, I drew. Just at that very moment a sound of branches breaking came from behind them. They froze there for about 5 minutes until 2 does came busting out from behind them. What scared those 2 up, I dont know, but of course all of them hauled but out of there.

First thing when you roll out of bed in the morning do 25 push ups and holding your draw will never be a problem. I do fifty and am the strongest man this side of the Mississippi. really it will help.
At the gym where I do Muay Thai, we do about 100 push ups every night, and then some. Also, since I broke my shoulder about 4 years ago, I have been doing "Rows" as recomended by my physical therapist. It's a sit down "Lat" machine that also has a rowing pully. If you guys want to try this, sit up with your back straight, shoulders back, and pull straight to your chest. When you pull back, squeeze your shoulder blades together. Great for the back, shoulders, and neck. Everything you need to condition for the bow.
