Absolutely! I know guys who practice hard all summer, then when season opens they don't shoot at all. Then, 2 months later they finally get that shot they were looking for, and guess what? Yep, they miss.

We work hard for each and every shot opportunity we get. It's positively sensless to let that opportunity slip through our fingers simply because we began neglecting our practice.

Great reminder, Greg. And thanks.

Thanks Greg, I have been lucky. I get off work at 3:30, Rob doesn't get off workuntil 4:30. This has given me enough time run home. Shoot a few arrows from 20 to 56 yards, and the hop in the "Scent Killer" shower. Normally, I want to get up in the stand ASAP, this has forced me to keep up the practice. Good luck to all. Looks like another great fall weekend.;)

Great post Greg! I have a hard time finding all the time to get out hunting, and get stuff done at home, so yes, my practice time goes down after the season starts. I need to change that.

RE: Don't stop practicing!!
 

hey, thanks for the reminder. I actually practiced earlier this week for the first time since our season opened on 9/13. bad me! I wish i could take a practice shot every morning but there's a very busy park that borders my back yard. sucks.

RE: Don't stop practicing!!
 

Exactly! Good post!

I ave a target set up so I can step out my bedroom door onto the patio, and shoot right from there. When the wife is in the shower in the morning, I shoot my bow. It will definitely improve your confidence to keep shooting during the season. The one-shot practice is great too.

Great reminder, Greg. HOWEVER, for those of us where the season hasn't started yet, practice is all we have!! One more week!!

RE: Don't stop practicing!!
 

Good reminder Greg. I do exactly as you prescribe. I shoot one or two arrows every night in our backyard. Sometimes I have to turn the flood lights on by the time I get a chance:eek:but its easy enough and you also make sure nothing's wrong, the sight didn't get knocked loose, etc. I had that cost me a deer one time so every time before I hunt, I make sure every piece of the bow is in working order. I've tagged out for the year now so all I can do is shoot in the backyard and dream of next year. Siiiiiiiiigggghhhhh.

Just shot 125 arrows last nite with finishing on a solid 4 out of 5 in the X ring. Good reminder.

I'm still shooting, I usually bust out the spot lights if I don't have time during daylight hours.
