are you practicing with your hunting bows and how much

[deerhunt45]

getting ready. and really pumped to bowhunt this year. i plan on spending as many hours on stand this year as possible. i have a place to hunt just 5 miles from my office...:mischeif:

got my compound out the other day to practice. 20 yard shots at the deer from my deck, 8 feet off the ground.

one shot (very first shot)...one kill :mischeif:

foam target/straw bale is where i check my broadheads. this whited area in the red circle is where i been hittin with the b-heads. i shoot a couple b-heads occasionally just to check things. mine seem to fly just like field points at 20 yards...

[deerhunt45]

when i get my recurve stringer in the mail, i'll be shootin my 50# bp puma. my draw is a little on the short side so i may be pullin 40 to 45# ?? :D ... i got the 55# out and pulled it a couple times and put it back in the rack. :whistle:

[bowhuntinoh]

i shot last weekend plan on shooting again today i have 2 bows both i hunt with my parker has served me well the mathews is working great cant wait to get on stand in 5 days

[CARPN-JAKE]

Been shootin my hunting bow for two months. Shootin good and am confident out to 40 yds...Can shoot well farther but to many variables

[deerhunt45]

kind of a dumb question of me...:D but if it prompted at least one person to think "yeah, i want to shoot straight and true at that deer this season, i better practice some more" it was worth the time :)

I expect most every bow hunter on OS.com has practiced and are ready to hit the woods next week. alot of us shoot year round to varying degrees. this was kinda a "killing time" kinda thread, :whistle: it was raining off and on all day and evening here yesterday. good luck all!

[tuffshot]

Good luck to you too "45"

I have been practicing and still putting a few final touches on a couple of broadheads. I like them scary sharp..:bouncy:

[OhioHunter88]

I shoot all the time, except when rainin and during the winter, im ready...bring it on...i do need to sharpen my heAds more tho

[coonskinner]

i am not shootin a lot but a lil bit almost everyday...i usually tend to over do it this time of year...then the sches come,shouder stiffins an the upper back muscle stiffins an i get a stiff neck...not as bad for the shootin as being able to turn neck right or left on stand...i got to turn whole body stiffly...cold weather+ over doin shootin+ lots of heavy stuff at work=body aches everywhere...was very pleased tonight with the shootin to 15 yds...didnt go any farther...:dizzy:

[It's Not A Passion..]

I shoot quite a bit year round. Went out today and was consistently shooting a five shot group at 40 yards small enough to wrap my fingers around. Can't wait till Sunday ( Arkansas season starts on Sunday).

[mikenbow]

I've been shooting pretty regularly the past 6 weeks. 10-20 arrows per night. I only shoot out to 20yds. Still havent shot any broadheads. First day out will be Oct. 20.

Y'all might want to take a few shots with your hunting outfit on before you hit the woods. For almost everyone, your point of impact will be different.

[Thunderflight]

I shoot my hunting bow year round.

[coonskinner]

disappointed tonight but i was very tired...was good enough for a 10 yd. shot:irked: but my stands are 10 yds. off the trail...:)

[Tufelhundin]

I startedpacking my truck lastnight....and I finally found my bow, it was behind the ice box. So, I'll shoot a little this after noon and I should be good to go. Gots to go get them Dirt Dobber nest of the limbs and that string looks like a little 100mph tape is needed. :dizzy: :coco:

Well, seeing as the temperatures are still getting up into the 80's down here, my hunting outfit will probably just consist of a camo t-shirt, my light camo overalls, and rubber boots.

[coonskinner]

those freddy bears have always flown just like the field points...and as always they did great again this year...now i just hope i can shoot straight...will do some shootin for i leave an when i get there...i'm bout packed up with the campin stuff and the huntin stuff...:D
