Traditional shooters

[Cooter]

I was wandering how much shooting some of you do. Also what yardage do you feel comfortable shooting at game?

I shoot every chance I get....not just for practice, but because I love to shoot. Ask me in Sept. about distance. It is all relative to how I am shooting at the time. Form and focus are the keys to shooting trad equipment.

last year was my first year. I passed up toms at 25 yards in the spring. I did whack them the next day with my compound though.

But I passed up deer this fall at twenty and missed a doe at 10, she ducked an alreadyed high shot. So I am lucky she ducked or I woulda had to of spined her.

What are you shooting?

I also shoot almost every day in the summer.

Like Silvertip, I really enjoy shooting; some weeks I'll shoot almost everyday if I can. When I'm busy, I still try to get in a couple hours each week minimum. I always have good accuracy 18 yards and under, but when I'm ramping up for seasons I usually feel competent at 25 on in.
It's like the quarterback hitting the reciever or the guy who can hit his free throws. The more you do it, the easier it gets. And like Silvertip said, form and concentration are the key. You also need to tune your setup. If you want to be exceptional, you need correct arrow spine. Bareshaft testing is the way to go.
If your gonna give it a serious go, I have a great video for you. It shows bows being made, tips on shooting and the best bareshaft and setup information I've ever seen. Shoot me a PM.

I am not shooting anything yet. I order a Reaper long bow off of ebay and it do to show up any day now.

I also love to shoot but living in town makes it kind of hard to get out every day.But hopefuly that will change in the next year or so.
