    Hello, my name is Jesse and I am new to bow hunting this year. I last time I shot a bow was 6 years ago, but I have been shooting my bow a lot. If there is any tips you can give me, I am open to any help.

    Tip #2: Practice how you play (shoot sitting, kneeling, standing, elevated)
    Tip #3: Have patients
    Tip #4: Don't believe everything you read
    Tip #5: Don't forget your arrows in the truck
    Tip #6: Wear a harness when hunting from a tree stand

    Tip #8: Aim small, miss small
    Tip #9: Never think you know everything

    Welcome to the sight. You will find a wealth of great information here.
    Just a few tips:
    1) Practice, a lot.
    2) Push yourself. Get out of your comfort zone as often as possible.
    3) Become a student of the game. Read all the articles and watch all the videos you can on how to become a better archer and how to become a better bow hunter.


    Best of luck. Nothing better than bow hunting!
