Before I know it, hunting season is going to be here and I am going to be like a kid in a candy store.  There is truly nothing like being out on a hillside, at the mercy of mother nature, with my bow glassing for critters.  I wait all year for it.  I eat it, sleep it, and breathe it.  For this reason, I take practicing with my bow pretty serious during the off season.  I remember when I first got into bowhunting and how I would pick my bow up a few weeks before season and start shooting.  Every time I did this, it was almost like I had to get used to shooting my bow again, because it had been so long.  Nowadays, I practice all year round, be it at 3d archery shoots or just in my backyard.  This keeps me sharp all year and keeps me from having to get used to shooting my bow every year.  Is this enough to get me ready for the woods though?
