I had a little free time and I was thinking about everything that I have learned over the past couple of months. I just wanted to extend a special Thank You to all of those who answer newb posts and stupid questions to educate the rest of us.I have learned more from hunters in the past 3 years than i have learned in my life. So I'll keep posting as long as you guys keep answering. This year i'm starting to hunt with the bow, so i hope everything goes well. Once again, Thank You to all.

Don't know if I've ever been able to helpout in any manner, but "Thanks" from everyone here...

Don't forget to practice, practice, practice leading up to the season -- and preferably from a height you'll be hunting out of as well. And don't make the mistake MOST people make when season comes in: they quit practicing!

only one problem with that i love in the city and i have nowhere to setup my treestand and shoot targets...its is illegal here to discharge a bow in public...and i'm pretty sure its illegal to do it on state land..so what do i do?

You're welcome. We enjoy your point of view as well.

Now, to address the next issue. You got a predicament there. Pretty sure local ordinance won't allow you to shoot your bow in the city. The state ground may be another issue. As far as MO is concerned, there is plenty public ground that you could shoot on. In fact, our Conservation Dept. has several shooting ranges in place specifically for this issue. There is a small cost involved, like $3 / hr or something like that, but reasonable. Check into that. Also, find a good pro shop. They have indoor ranges you can shoot in.

oh shooting is not the problem...i shoot all the time i belong to a hunting club over here...the problem is being able to shoot from a treestand
i wanna be able to setup at treestand and shoot a target but thats a tuffy

hey no problem we were all newbies once and we have all asked a stupid question once or twice

Hey dude! Speak for yourself!!! [8D][8D][&:]
