When was the last time...
 

you shot your bow?

I shot a dozen shots in my backyard Saturday, before I went hunting. We all need to keep practicing during the season, to stay in shape and make sure all of the bumps in and out of the truck and up and down the tree hasn't moved anything.

Just a friendly reminder. We owe it to the deer to be on target.

RE: When was the last time...
 

ugh....been way too long. i aint gunna lie to ya, probably the weekend of 10-27 or maybe first weekend of nov.

BUT, i havent hunted with it since and dont plan to hunt with it till the end of september at the earliest. i normally dont quit till it gets super cold...but this year we moved to a new house the or 2nd weekend of nov...i been busy every weekend since. i goto college during the week so practice time is limited to fri-sun when im in school...

im going through withdraws...i'll be flingin arrows this next month or so while im on winter break...i miss it...

if i was still hunting with it, id still be shooting...wont hunt if im not shooting it.

the weekend i killed my buck i hauled my broadhead target to school for the week and then to my buddies camp for the weekend..friday afternoon i pulled in the drive, threw up the target and shot 30+ arrows...geared up and went huntin' unpacked the truck after dinner...was going to shoot saturday between my morning and evening hunt as well, but...he was dead by 930...my 1 arrow flew true...

RE: When was the last time...
 

Shot yesterdayin Hunter Dan7's basement. Shot off and on all day. Nothing else to do cause were iced in.

RE: When was the last time...
 

Shot the 3D range Saturday about 50 arrows then yeserday I shot about 35 to 40 in the back yard. I'm starting to shoot more now getting ready for 3D and the Indoor League on here.

RE: When was the last time...
 

I shot 30 arrows from my longbow 2 days ago outside and usually shoot 8-10 or so at the bag inside every night to stay sharp on anchor and keep the muscles tuned.

I'm going to try to take a doe with the longbow in our 2nd season so that will make a deer taken with a compound, recurve and longbow all in the same season. I think that would be pretty cool.:)

Starting Dec23 things will switch gears and our 15 week outdoor winter 3D league starts and I'll have all the shooting I can stand.[:-]

RE: When was the last time...
 

November 8th at 10:30 AM was the last arrow I fired.... Hope to start shooting again real soon.Just don't quite feel ready yet.

RE: When was the last time...
 

Yeah, I guess you get a free pass on this one.;)

How is the shoulder coming along?

RE: When was the last time...
 

Much better... Doesn't hurt most of the time but every now and then I will do something and it will hurta little bit reminding me to give it some more time. It's not worth rushing.....

RE: When was the last time...
 

Better hope the coyotes get Boomer before me, I have a score to settle with that dog. BAM!

RE: When was the last time...
 

It's been way too long, but I havent hunted since the day after thanksgiving.:( I left my bow at home when i went back to school, so i havent been able to shoot in quite a while. One more final and then i have a whole month to hunt.:)

RE: When was the last time...
 

Man, you best cowboy up if you intend to keep up in the Vegas league..I don't want any cryin out of you while I'm changing your diaper!

RE: When was the last time...
 

Let's see, yesterday was Monday....Oh yeah I shot about 80 arrows today :D

RE: When was the last time...
 

Don, I've seen you shoot and I know I am no compettition for you. This is the main reason I am doing this league is to shoot more. Besides I have over a month to get back in the swing of things, and before you know you're the one gonna be needing the diaper after you see my scores.;)

RE: When was the last time...
 

Oh wow....a slight turn of events has unfolded here. Concession smack....Now THAT was good......Kudos on that one bro....nicely done.

RE: When was the last time...
 

I have shot less this year than in the past 10 I think.I did get in the garage last night and a couple nights agowith the BT and fire about 10-15 shots to make sure my release is going off smoothe.

After that,the rest is easy.


I have been working alot lately and couple that with running the kids everywhere and the wife being out of town the past 2 weekends,I haven't even been able to go hunting.[:@]

RE: When was the last time...
 

Today i shot about 12 arrows after school.

RE: When was the last time...
 

10-31-07 (see avater).;)

RE: When was the last time...
 

with a compound, you don't have to shoot it much to be super accurate - once every few weeks is fine. In fact, I can pick up a compound 2 years from having shot it last and be very accurate with it = they're designed to be that way

RE: When was the last time...
 

Which bow?
I shot my recurve last night.
My compound wasbefore this last snow we had. 1.5 - 2 weeks.

RE: When was the last time...
 

About 8 months or so ago.

RE: When was the last time...
 

Ummm I cant remember lol. The day I shot my buck??

RE: When was the last time...
 

I shoot everyday at least 20-25 arrows a day....It helps when you have a 20yard range in your basement

RE: When was the last time...
 

The bow be designed that way, but you aren't. As the weather gets colder we add layers which can change anchor points and shooting form.And things on the bow may get bumped or moved during the season too.

We owe it to the game we hunt to know our equipment and our ability is on target.

RE: When was the last time...
 

That Dog will eat your lunch PAL, he thought you were sasquach [8D]:DBam!!

RE: When was the last time...
 

Oh now, why dont we just rub it in a little [8D]:D...again, excellent buck ;)

RE: When was the last time...
 

Compound - Sunday....about 30 shots.

Longbow - Saturday.....about 40 shots.

RE: When was the last time...
 

Shot my target bow last night for the first time in 2 weeks. Shot my hunting bow at 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards on Saturday as well to make sure everything was on. With any luck I may be able to squeeze in one or two more hunts this year......not 100% sure though until we sort through things w/ the new house.

I may also be able to get clearance if I stand between the rafters in the basement, or maybe in the attic of the new place...[8D]. Boy it would be really nice to have even just 10 yards to work on cleaningup my shot execution and blank bale right in the house somewhere.

RE: When was the last time...
 

Shot last night, I shoot at least 12 shots every day. I can't walk through my garage without checking out my bows and firing a few shots, there just fun to shoot. :)
