I want to start off by thanking everyone for reading my blogg. I am an avid outdoors man and love when that time of year comes around that allows me to get back out into the tree stand doing what I love. But in the off-season I find it very beneficial to practice almost every day, you know what they say that practice makes perfect. In the eight years that I have been hunting I have tried to get out as much I can and practice with my bow and shotgun. I used to practice for 3 hours continuously shooting my bow at various distances that were not marked to help me judge distances more effectively. By doing this I became very confident with my shooting ability and with confidence comes effective shooting. Now for my gun I was limited to how much practice I could do since the ammunition is not the cheapest thing but I still found time to practice my shooting. I would shoot up to 15-30 slug rounds at a time 2 or 3 times during the off-season to help train myself to get ready for the slug season. The practice that I put myself through made me a better shot and has helped me harvest some very nice deer. I have attached a few pictures here as well which shows that practice sometimes give you great rewards.
