Reminder to bow hunters

[Seahawk12]

A friendly reminder:

Early season is coming fast.
If you haven't already started then it is time to get your practice shooting in.
The more shots you take now, the more confidence you will have when it counts.
Go over your equipment.
Make sure your bow is tuned and dialed in.
Every year there are lots of procrastinators that put all of this off.
Ethical shots begin in the off-season.
"Separation is in the preparation."

Have fun and good luck!!!

I started early, apparently - 1990 or somewhere abouts.

Just a friendly reminder to those that may have been putting some of this off do to other things getting in the way.

I've been walking the course at Silver Arrow Bowmen and shooting the course. 3 loops of 16ish targets each about a mile long. $2 a person a day open to the public, NO broadheads,  50 target total and a nice flat range to make sure your dialed in. Most of the course has yardage markers that do not take into account the drop due to shooting up/down hill.

Thanks for the reminder. I've been starting slow in hopes of keeping my shoulder functioning. Lots of stretching first. It's helped a bunch. I'm slowing working up the number of shots I'm taking each evening.

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Do everything you can on your end to make an ethical shot and practice with an elevated heart rate. Do your best to simulate hunting scenarios and good luck.

You mean there's an off season from shooting? Gotta shoot daily!

Very true. Daily discipline. I shoot my bow at least 5 days a week, other 2 days I shoot my rifle.

Ive got targets at 20, 45, and 100 (just for fun) yds at my house that I've been using almost daily. Deadly with the compound, lots of work to go with the recurve. I'll be taking the bow out for bear this weekend and hopefully Ill get a chance to prove my hard work.

This is my favorite walk through course in the PNW. (Full disclosure: I've really only shot courses in the Western WA area.) I've shot this one about 3-4 times in the afternoons when I'm done calling on customers in the area

Thankyou for the kind words. There are lot of member that put in time to keep the place up and open to the public. Normally we spend 1500- 2k or so man hours every year keeping the place up.
