Was your 2005 Bowhunting season a sucess?

[mcrae]

I had a great time trying but no luck. It was my first year using a bow and it was definetly weird switching from a rifle to a bow. I would sit down to watch a spot and then realize I was bow hunting and the 100 yard shot I was thinking about wasn't going to work with my 50# recurve . Once I mentally switched and realized twenty yards was my max range I started to realize how hard this bow hunting really is! I have a nice little range so I can practice all winter and get ready for spring bear!

Hey mcrae , That was a great post and well presented the "shock adjustment factor". Hang in there with your bow , As your confidence picks up it gets better and better each time you go out there .
Good on you for adopting a practice regime right away and I recommend attending 3-d shoots . Your patience and attitude will place you in good stead in your bowhunting adventure . Good Luck


REMEMBER -- Keep Your Fingertab On --

I'm getting back into archery, but my brother's been in it for a long time, he shot a nice 3 point this year after 3 or 4 years of trying to get one with his bow. He was so excited after the shot he was just shaking. Nice deer too.

No luck this year ! Threw an arrow at a nice mulie at 40 yard up hill and of course forgot all the rules of shooting uphill so went over his back. . Ah but there is always spring bear just a few months away.
