If the bowhunter has just removed his bow from the mothballs for this season, then a last minute prayer probably isn't a bad idea, because he may need to supplicate the almighty to bag this buck. Don't make his mistake and rely on divine intervention or luck, when the shot of the season, or even a lifetime presents itself. The best way to be prepared is to practice with your bow. Practice can be fun. Practice can be a way to whet your appetite for the actual hunting season.

Practice can be a way to whet your appetite for the actual hunting season. It can be a way to focus your thoughts on arrow release and flight so that when you are ready, in the field, to make a shot you will be able to rely upon your skill as an archer. If all your other hunting techniques are there and you are unable to hit your mark, you will never have a successful hunt and your level of frustration will be all the greater because you are seeing and missing whitetails. So grab your bow and get ready to put in some serious time practicing. One very common mistake that many hunters make when practicing is that they use field tips when shooting practice shots.
