Default Went hunting with my bow for the first time today.

I got my bow for x-mas and havent shot it at a live animal yet. So it was in my car when i went to my parents and they have an extreme infestation of chipmuks on their land. So I used them for target practice. I got shots at 6 and lets just say there are 6 less digging holes in my moms flowerbeds and under the pond liner. It was great to see how accurate I was in the field not just at a closed air range.

Head Shots make for an easy track
As a new found bowhunter, you need to rethink your signature line.

i seen that headshot on tom mirandas encylcopedia video. utterly amazing period. the arrow went hay wire. had to hit a branch or something it went WAY off course and flight was TERRIBLE.

that is by far not where you want to put an arrow on a big game animal. that guy simply got lucky.

good luck with your bowhunting...i couldnt imagine shooting chipmunks. small, quick, and even if you hit them, what will stop your arrow if the ground doesnt? be safe...
