As a disclaimer I would have been embarrassed to show my groups a few days ago. I needed to take a few days off and shoot this confidence builder to get the bad stuff out of my head.

My problem is I love to shoot and Will literally shoot myself in a rut. But i’ve been doing this along time and know I just need to take time off to get myself back on track.

Nice shooting.

i’ve learned that my first cold shot without warm up or stretching is terrible.

I bring one of those rubber bands on my hunts and warm up my shoulders really good and draw my bow a few times before I ever take a shot. I also shoot about every hour or two in the field at stumps and such just to stay loosened up.

The stretch bands are a good idea. If I’m stalking I usually have no problem on the cold shot. Sitting in a stand for along time is different. I try to rotate my shoulders to keep them loose when I think I can get away with it or slowly draw my bow and hold for a few seconds as I wait.
