Hey Guys!
Just a quick question for all you archers getting ready for upcoming seasons. I have been shooting archery for about 5 years now, but until recently, have not been really into it. Archery was just a way for me to spend more time in the wood when I didn't draw a rifle or Muzz tag when I started. That, to a certain extent is still an accurate statement seeing that I did put in for rifle and muzz tags this year. I did draw a muzz elk tag, but didn't draw a rifle deer tag. I have not yet hunted deer with a bow, so this year, I am trying to take my bow more seriously. I shoot everyday, along with scouting whenever I can. I don't want to mess up becasue I wasn't prepared. Now, I feel like I have always been prepared when taking to the elk woods with my bow when I have done that in the past, but I know that I have never put this much time into it. Sounds stupid probably, but I think that there is something to killing a buck with a bow that is maybe a bit more challenging than killing an elk. Maybe it is just me, but killing a bull in the heat of the rut, while truley exciting, is maybe a bit less of a challenge than killing a buck. It migh be a purely ignorant statement since I have never hunted deer with a bow, but like I said, just a perception that I have. Anyway, I want to be prepared. The question that I have is about grouping shots. I know what a good group is, regardless of "weapon" used. I am shooting a new bow this year and have had to fiddle with it a lot as of late becasue I added a new rest to it twice now. I finally have a rest on it that seems to be working like it is supposed to and I am feeling pretty good about the groups that I am shooting, but I also know that I could probably continue to tinker with it and get it even tighter. My concern is that time is running out and should I go with what I think is good enough to get the job done, or should I continue to work on getting this group tighter? I know that in the heat of the moment, regardless of the group, I could screw up, so should I work on tightening it up to reduce the margin of error? I am willing to entertain all serious suggestions. I know that this post has some stuff that some will laugh at, and I wouldn't blame anyone for doing so. Like I said, deer hunting with a stick is new to me. So plese bare with me and jsut give me some feed back. Thanks.
