Practice Makes Perfect
 

As many of the states are opening their archery season; I just wanted to take a moment and remind everyone to keep practicing. Everyone wants to take that monster buck, or just a deer in general, so keep practicing so you can be sure to put your arrow through the boiler maker and make a clean kill.

Can never read that tip too many times, it's a good one. Many stop practicing once the broadheads are sighted in or once in a tree. Big mistake, keep the muscles and mind tuned. Good tip snake.

Amen to that snake. One can never have enough practice. Besides that Anytime you have a bow in your hands is a good time.

i can relate...

last weekend started a special early doe season for special reg areas...friday i got home and shot some arrows..packed up the gear..went hunting satruday.

sunday i decided to tie a new loop on...marked the string so i could put the new one in the same spot. tied it on and started shooting...what the heck!?!? arrow is flyin nuts and makin wild noise. uht oh. bumped the rest hunting??

long story short, that arrow was the one i had nocked all day saturday...im GLAD i didnt get a shot. one of the back ends of the fletching was ripped off...probably from passing through my target so many times...probably happend the last shot i took friday evening.

i keep a couple practice heads sitting in the shed...unscrew the good heads and screw on the practice heads and practice with the arrows in my quiver. checked them all on all my arrows and all fly the same so no worries there...

heck...i got a buddy that says hes bowhunting this year. i took him to get set up in july. he shot once at home...then once at my house. said he could kill a deer at 25yds. he barely hit my 3ft bag at 20yds!! talked to him tonight. swears he can kill a deer at 20yds and he practiced THREE times since my house:([:@][:'(]:eek: i just hope he plain out misses and doesnt wound one if he does get a shot...knowing him he will just get plain out lucky and drop it in its tracks and say bowhunting is easy...like always with that kid lol..

Practice, Practice, Practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RE: Practice Makes Perfect
 

honestly you can say that over and over again and it will never get old....but it is the truth you cant go and shoot till you sighted in and say the hell with it im good...then you seea monster and end up missing because you didnt practice continuously...good luck to everyone

O come on now..My bow shot good last year so I will just take it out blow the dust off and should be good........How many of you have heard people say that.......I know guy's that take thier bows out the day before shoot acouple arrows and call it good with out even shooting the broadheads......Needless to say I dont hunt with them.......

Thats why I like living in the country.......

Also, the TYPE of practice should change. I don't launch 50 or 60 arrows in a row once the season starts. I try to take ONE shot per day, under hunting conditions. This means hunting clothes on, from a treestand, with broadheads. When you are hunting, it's the first shot that counts. If it takes you 5 shots to get warmed up, you're not ready to hunt. Just my .02.

i shoot everyday

RE: Practice Makes Perfect
 

In addition to the continuation of practice, Icarry a practice BH tipped arrow in my quiver and use it to shoot at a leaf or something on the ground after a morning hunt. Can't simulate hunting conditions much better than that.

RE: Practice Makes Perfect
 

Yep, that's goog advice. I try to practice everyday that I get a chance.;)

RE: Practice Makes Perfect
 

I used to do the same thing until I started splitting arrows at the insert because of hitting something hard in the ground, I stopped doing that![8D] Luckily I can shoot off my balcony every day!

RE: Practice Makes Perfect
 

I disagree!

Perfect practice makes perfect.
