Accuracy is critical!

• First, find the right bow. Buy your gear from an expert source like Outdoors Experience, who can help make sure it’s the right fit for you.

• Practice makes perfect. Continue shooting until you can ensure accuracy.



When you’re ready, go for speed

• Find a fast bow. Only when you’re comfortable with your aim, look for a faster bow that can help you boost momentum and penetration.

• Seek advice. Talk with our experts at Outdoors Experience about the best bows and arrows for speed.



Find your balance

• Get as comfortable and steady as possible. Achieving a solid foundation can be tricky from a treestand or blind.

• Experiment with different stances. From a treestand you can shoot either sitting or standing. Practice both ways and find out what you are most comfortable with.


Getting Good Shot Placement

• Never try to take a big game animal while it’s moving . If your prey is moving. It will be difficult to make a well placed shot.

• Slow the pace. Sometimes calling the animal can cause it to stop or pause, giving you a better opportunity to shoot.


Aim to kill

• Focus. You should not aim at an entire animal, but rather a key location on its body to ensure you kill the animal (not leaving it wounded). Heart or Lung shots are areas to focus on.

• Get specific. Each prey is different, so do your research ahead of time to know where to focus.


Don’t hesitate

• Overthinking is your worst enemy. Some people will wait to shoot, thinking they could mess up the shot or get a better opportunity.

• Don’t wait! If your prey is close and relaxed or pausing, take advantage of the opportunity immediately.
