Title: New to Archery
Post by: Mongo Hunter on January 31, 2011, 04:47:48 PM: Hey Guys been hunting for about 10 years now, and last year i got to go to Oklahoma for modern and had a blast. but this year I'm staying in Washington and Ive done modern and muzzleloader before. But those seasons are just getting worse and worse when it comes to time and areas to hunt. Archery seems to be the best step. I'm barrowing a Martin from a friend of my to get some pratice in and possibly by a brand new Limsaver off of him. any pointers for the Newbies?

what? Do you mean using decoys during archery season? I think that's a whole separate topic.
