I just thought I would share some more bow shooting tips since Bow season is less than a month away now!
1) When you practice shooting, shoot at a smaller dot on your target.  It will make you a better shot than if you shoot at the bigger ones.  I always shoot better at the smaller ones anyways because I have to concentrate harder on it. 
2) One thing that I try to never do is shoot my bow when I'm tired or sleepy.  I never shoot good when I do, and it usually just makes me develop bad habits. 
3) This one kind of ties in with #2:  I always quit shooting my bow if my arm starts to get shaky.  It just makes me shoot worse & develop bad habits.  One thing I've done that helps me with not getting shaky as quick is I only shoot 2 arrows at a time.  I used to shoot 3, but I found that I always was a little shaky by the time I shot the 3rd arrow & wouldn't shoot as good.  (I'm weak, I know..lol)
4) Try this to see if you are pulling too much weight with your bow:  Get your bow and sit down in a chair.  Pull your feet up to where they aren't touching the ground & pull your bow back.  If you struggle too much or can't get it back, then you are pulling too much weight.  I only shoot about 45 lbs and really all you need is 40!  I would hate to be in a tree stand and have a big buck walk by and not be able to pull back my bow!
Well, that's all for now! Email me with any questions you have @ shehunts.ah@gmail.com.  If I don't have the answer for your question, I will find someone who does!
