poll on end of season habits
OK, the bowseason is coming to a close if it hasn't allready. Everyone does something with their bow. Do you...
A. Toss your bow in a closet? B. put your bow in a case then toss it in a closet? C. Hang it on the wall? D. closely inspect for any loose, worn, or damaged parts. then wax the string, and lubricate any friction points. Then put it away? E. Put it away???? Why? I keep shooting on a regular basis! F. Uhh, I think it's still in the back of the truck. Why, should I do anything with it? FOOLPROOF? Never underestimate the power of a fool! What if the "Hokey Pokey" really is what it's all about? |

I forgot to answer!
D. but I still shoot atleast once a month, until 2-3 months prior to the season opening, then it's an everyday thing! FOOLPROOF? Never underestimate the power of a fool! What if the "Hokey Pokey" really is what it's all about? |

E. Of course I just got a new bow before the end of the season. I want shooting it to become as natural feeling to me by next season as my old bow felt.

RE: poll on end of season habits
E., At least twice a week.
Shoot often - Hunt always |
RE: poll on end of season habits
C, pull it off around July. I did wax the string 1st though.
|
RE: poll on end of season habits
Waxed the string, light oil in the wheels (old bow), pulled off the sight I damaged. Now I hang it on the wall in retirement because i want a new bow. Probably the Buckmaster G2 or G2XL.
THWACK! |
RE: poll on end of season habits
D. constantly!! Some kinda strange pet peave with me. I have a fear of mechanical failure. The "bow devil" sabotaging my equipment while I sleep. I know this is probably not a good practice, but I even inspect parts while on stand. I can't shake it.
E. I shoot 2 or 3 times a week until Late August, then everyday. |
RE: poll on end of season habits
E my hunting bow is my target bow. I try to get out once a week sometimes two.
|
RE: poll on end of season habits
I also change mine out for 3D, change the arrows and shoot alot with it weekly.

RE: poll on end of season habits
This is the time of the year I play with new stuff, etc. This year its a new bow and all the goodies that go with so I will have a busy winter shooting.
This goes hand in hand with an agressive winter/spring scouting routine. 24-7-365 I have horns on the brain<img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> |
RE: poll on end of season habits
I wax and check it over and then put it in my closet and put it away for a few months then start over in the spring and summer.
