Reminder to bow hunters

[PolarBear]

I haven't picked up my bow in months.  It's a good thing I still have a while to practice.  I usually don't hunt until late season.

It's upon us boys. Hope you guys got your practice in

Don't forget to grab your Allen wrenches, tighten every screw/bolt down on your bows/accessories, and finger rub a heinous amount of wax into those strings folks .

Last year my sights got messed up on the way to the hunt so I tightened everything. I was super suprised at how loose alot of those Allen bolts were. Great advice

 I mark all my bolts with a fine tipped silver sharpie so I can look at my bow and tell if anything is moving. It's nice after a misstep or long bumpy car rides to be able to just have that visual confirmation that things are where they're suppose to be.

That's a good idea but my pins and my entire site adjusts up and down and left and right. I finally broke down and bought a bow case, tighten the bolts religiously, and always make sure to shoot a few arrows from each pin when I get wherever I'm going.

I put a sight tape on my bow yesterday. I'm shooting better than I ever have. I got a late start but have been shooting at least 30 good arrows per day. I have been practicing only letting them fly if I know they are going to hit.

My confidence is high, but now I have started focusing on uphill, downhill and kneeling shots. When I'm kneeling it cuts my range in half.
