Hello all, I'm new to the forum and the sport. This looked like the best place, and most popular, to join for bow hunting talk. I am completely new to the sport and just purchased a PSE typhoon bow last Wednesday. I really like the bow so far and it seems the shop where I bought the bow from did a great job setting me up. I have been practicing daily in the back yard and attached some photos of my progress. I really don't have any close friends who bow hunt and its tough gauging my performance / progression in my shooting ability. I have attached some photographs i took with my phone of how I'm currently shooting. Do you think my current shooting ability is good enough to attempt to take a deer? again i really don't have anyone to compare my shooting ability to so I'm reaching out on a limb here. The season here in Florida is still a good five weeks out and I'm hoping to improve. Are there any tips you suggest for improving my accuracy. I know from reading on here that anchor points seem to be key. Currently i am using a kisser button (which seems to really be helpful in lining up) and my hand as reference as well as my peep sight. I would like to be able to touch my nose to the string as a third anchor but when I try I end up sighting with my strong eye right between the lenses on my eye glasses. Any suggestions for this? Thanks again guys and nice to meet you all.. Chad the pictures attached are in order from 15 to 20 to 30 yards.
Welcome to th sight first off. All those shots are great and would equal some table fair. Keep shooting and have some fun. any questions ask you'd be hard pressed not to get answers here
Chad, welcome! The only thing I can say is, practice from elevation if you plan on shooting from a treestand. Good luck this season.
Welcome Chad! Cool name.. I imagine you were a QB in high school. Welcome and enjoy the site! Sign up in the deer contest thread above to join a team for this seasons contest.
welcome to the sight and good shooting. One thing that I have learned is that once you feel you have your bow properly tuned in and feel confident is too not over shoot. Meaning, the next time you practice shoot for a short amount of time especially getting close to season. The last thing you want to do is get frustrated because you shot too long and now your shots aren't grouping up and are all over the place. I usually like to shoot no more than 15 to 20 minutes and thats taking my time. good luck...
