    New to bow hunting

    Sup guys I'm new to archery and I just got my first bow. It's a diamond provider RAK. I took it to bass pro shop and got it sighted in at 20 yards, what advice would you all give to a new bowhunter?

      Best I advice I can give is learn the right way from the beginning. Pay more attention to for and proper shooting than where you arrow hits right now. Once you develop muscle memory with proper form from repetitive shooting, then you can start focusing on the rest. There are a lot of good online sources for proper form. Read and start off right. It is way easier than trying to fix bad habits.

            Practice practice practice. The most common mistake beginning bow hunters make is developing bad habits and buying too many gadgets. Learn to shoot your equipment properly and with proper form, but most importantly have fun.

              Don't just practice standing up at 20 yds. Get up in a tree, ground blind, sitting in a chair, kneeling, etc.

              As far as the actual hunting part...that could take weeks to discuss!

              Play the wind. If the wind is wrong, don't hunt the stand. Have multiple stands at each site for different winds if possible. Wind is the key. Bad wind equals no deer or nervous deer. Both suck. Don't take a shot that's not dang near perfect (broadside or slightly quartered away animal, within your comfortable range, relaxed animal that's not looking at you, etc.

                  Learn to tune,and work on your bow yourself.There will come a time you'll have to...When you find a release you like buy two or three of em!

                      Fight the urge to crank your limbs down. Guys often get caght up in the need for speed. Shoot a weight that you can comfortably draw and hold without raising the bow over your head. This will pay off big time when you do start trying to shoot at an animal. Shoot often but not to the point that you get sloppy. Try to make every draw, anchor, sight picture, release and follow through the same. If you get tired and your form falls off, take a break. Pay attention to your arrows, weights, spine, heads and broadheads. Shoot what flies best from your bow. Tons of information out there, use the search feature to find it, or just ask. Despite what else you will learn here, many of us still love archery.

                      Welcome to the fire and to the addiction that is bowhunting!

                        As a fairly new bow hunter myself, I’ve found that when I try to make my first shot my most important one of practice then I only go up from there. Focus on making the first shot you take each day to be the most accurate, as it will be the most important and only chance you get in the field. So do your best to be consistent as possible. Consistency is a big key in being accurate. Always know your anchor point.

                            Don't get in a tree without a harness. Keep practicing, you're doing fine.
