Realtree Carbon
First deer bow season tips?
This year is going to be my first season for archery. In about May I decided I wanted to bow hunt. In August I got my first bow, a PSE Stinger with carbon arrows. I've been practicing at 20 yards since then, and bought some G5 Montec 85 Gr. broadheads yesterday since deer season is on the 18th. Yesterday I participated in my first bow shoot and did reasonably good. I won a Realtree camo hat, a coffee mug, and a $25 gift card to Kmart. I also purchased some Scent-A-Way at Wal-mart yesterday. On the 17th I'm leaving to my grandparents farm and spending the night and getting up early and going hunting. Do you have any good bow hunting tips for that day? Any certain way to dress for bow hunting that's different than rifle hunting? I have a 26" draw length, 48 lb drawback, 85% let off. My bow is a PSE Stinger
Oh, the arrows are Carbon Force™ Radial X Weave
The clothes you plan to wear -- wash 'em at least two times with non-scented soap (NOT laundry detergent). You want them as non-UV reflective and odorless as possible (it's the "brighteners" in laundry detergents that make clothing UV-reflective).
What you wear also has to be QUIET!!!! If it makes a noise that you can hear, the deer are going to be hearing it even more. Flannels and wools are best -- cotton denim is a close second.
Skip the bacon-n-eggs breakfast. Eat veggies, instead. Cleaner breath, cleaner smells from you....
If you can, do some scouting the day before the hunt. Otherwise, listen to what your grandfather tells you regarding his experience in hunting; he'll most likely know the better places to set up a stand.
Last, since it is getting late and I need to get up early, you have been practicing at 20 yards. DO NOT try any 30+ yard shots. Stay within the limits of your skill.
(I am continually amazed by the "need" to have such a high let-off percentage...you will be holding only 7.2 lbs at full draw. That is sad...)
