How "Superstitious" are you?
 
OK, guys I know that I'm not the only "nut" in the woods. Do you do things like line your arrows up a certain way in your quiver, have a favorite arrow that always gets nocked first, a lucky BH that would only get left at home if the ferrule got bent, a lucky fletching color, lucky hat, etc etc. I never pay attention to things like opening an umbrella inside, walking under a ladder, black cats, etc etc but when it comes to hunting I'am certified.

None of the above. I'm not above being superstitious. But hunting-wise....I'm immune.

EDIT** I DID have one BH that cut me when I was sharpening it. So.....it's first in line.

Ever since I played the state title game and won with a shut out I've always put lowcut socks on and always put the left one on first. Not everyday only when I'm doing something I need the luck for like hunting. And sometimes I won't do it just to save up for a lucky day, I do like for all my arrows to be organized neatly but that's just because I want it to look nice.

Besides my lucky shirt, hat, facemask, and gloves, i'm not superstitious at all.

I arrange my arrows based on how good they shot while practicing before the hunt. I know it doesn't make a difference, but he seems to give me more confidence.

Well i number all my arrows, and which ever one shoots the best or i feel shoots the best is the first one shot out of that bow and yes i do line all my arrows up in the quiver the same way but thats i about it!

Well dan when I come to florida in January.... you don't have to worry about me bringing a banana on the boat....

Oh... white arrow nocks are more accurate... even though flo yellow ones bring the best luck.... while orange nocks are bad luck.... (I'm not joking... I've got a decade worth of trial and error to back this.... of course it is superstition on my part.... sheer coincidence really).
