Shooting clay pigeons with a bow and arrow

Shooting clay pigeons with a bow and arrow may seem to some like an impossibility, or something that only the best (Howard Hill, Byron Ferguson, or Frank Addington) would try. Believe me folks, it is not only do-able but it is addicting. I have chased pheasant, quail, and chukar partridge with my bow quite a few times over the past few years behind a great pointing dog and nothing has prepared me for the hunt more than practicing on clay pigeons in the back yard.

Shooting clay pigeons with a bow and arrow is difficult, but like anything else, the more you practice the better you will get. The one product that gave me the edge was a 3″ Snaro. A 3″ Snaro from Snaro.net out in front of a Johnny Flu-Flu more than doubled the amount of busted clays with my bow and arrow, and I didn’t have to search for arrows buried under the grass all afternoon either. With the bright colored fletching on my flu-flus locating arrows was a cinch, and the Snaro kept the arrow from burying itself in or under the grass. Arrows are getting expensive and I hate losing them when I’m practicing.

I started shooting clay pigeons with a bow and arrow to get ready for shooting quail at Birdseye View in Wisconsin 906 221 0783 and even the practicing was a hoot. With a 3″ Snaro I surprised myself with how many clays I actually busted. It was great training and when the time came to hunt quail and even some chukar partidge I was ready. Believe it or not, I actually smoked the first quail we flushed with my bow and arrow, and yes, it was flying!
