Bow practice

Bow practice is a necessity for the archer who wants to harvest game humanely, but a lot of archers get bored quickly practicing especially if they do their practicing by themselves. Boredom and practice is not a good combination folks. Chances are if you are bored while practicing for anything, especially bow hunting, you aren’t really learning anything. Yes, it is good to practice the fundamentals, but why not keep it entertaining and exciting?

When I bow practice I use stationary targets and static targets to keep myself interested and also improving. Aerial targets are by far the most fun bow targets I have found. I live in town but have a big enough yard to shoot my bow. To keep the practicing fun I use a target launcher in front of a mesh backstop. I use a Snaro from Snaro.net to prevent my arrows from slipping through the netting and picked up a aerial target launcher from Snaro.net that can launch tennis balls, empty soda bottles, charcoal briquets and all sorts of different aerial targets. I don’t have to chase arrows all day and don’t have to worry about losing them either.

Bow practice is great fun for me now since I started using products from Snaro.net. I don’t have to worry about the task of pulling arrows from a target that they are stuck in, don’t have to worry about losing arrows and with a group of friends it usually develops into a friendly competition. While aerial targets will not get you completely dialed in on stationary targets it keeps you shooting your bow and keeps that hand/eye coordination in great shape. Since I went to Snaro.net my target sessions last twice as long, and since I’m not just shooting at a ten-ring I don’t have to worry so much about developing target panic. It also exercises my mind and body. I’ve been able to increase my draw weight by 10 lbs since I started spending so much more time in the back yard with bow practice.
