Picked up the bow tonight to start warming up for the season. First arrows since last fall:  The next few months I’ll be all over that damn target lol |

Nice. I’m planning on stringing up the recurve to see how the shoulder feels. September will be here in approximately 4 months.

You gotta do a 9 spot target and 1 arrow per spot or you'll be knocking them in no time.
I don't pick up the bow unless i get a tag i will use. Shot a lot for 20-25 years and burned out on it - used to be able to consistently hit a nickel at 40 yards. Lost a handful of deer and decided archery wasn't all that.
Takes me a couple of weeks and doing fist size groups at 25 yards, never worry about doing better than that. See a deer coming, draw while it is still way out there (if possible) and hold til it gets inside of 20 yards. Then I release, damn thing ducks or dodges and either have to track a gut shot deer or wait for the next one. Being deaf and bow hunting don't go together. Hard not to spook em at close range with stuff I can't hear.

I hunted with a compound for almost 40 yrs and got bored with it about 2 yrs ago. My wife surprised me with a long bow for Christmas and the first time I sat with it the following September I killed a small 3x1 buck. That was the most satisfying feeling that I had ever had after killing a deer.
