I was just out finding my "block" target and getting my bow and stuff out to look over and prepare for some practice. It's been 4 years since I've bow hunted and the bow has been packed up in its case since then.
While in the midst of this, it ocurred to me that while I am competent (or at least was the last time I practiced) enough to place the arrow, I am definately not a bow "enthusiast". But, I am to bow hunting what so many are to hunting with a rifle.
Most hunters leave their hunting rifle in the safe until just before hunting season when they drag it out, check it and take it to the range to check the zero and maybe get a little practice.
That's the way I am with my bow...
I will make sure that I'm up to speed before leaving for the hunt - I owe the deer that much.
Just seemed weird to me to realize that I do the same thing that I council against others from doing... just with different hunting tools.

In other words, I realized that I've been hypocritical about this and that kinda bugs me.
The answer to this issue of course is 1) don't bow hunt or 2) get the thing out and practice every so often.
I will do number two - after all, I can do this in my back yard any time that I choose... and its good excersize for my upper body too.
