complete idiot on angle shooting

[chutestrate]

Got some good advice a while ago from members bere trying to understand compensating for for arrow drop. Just missed a doe at 30 or so yds. I give up. With my practicing i thought i had it figured out. I'll be sticking to gun hunting. Even a dumbass like me can figure rhat out

When you are setting your pins are you shooting at a target level with your bow or on thr ground?

I am guessing you are shooting from a stand? If you are when you shoot are you bending at the waist or simply moving your arm down?

Am shooting from a stand while sitting. So I"m not sure if that qualifies shooting from the waist. I didn't qualify my statement by saying I'm using a crossbow.

Never underestimate the power of stupidity. How many hunters get shot each year by other hunters?

I don't hunt (too much time, I guess, on the receiving end of gun/mortar/rocketfire), but far be it from me to begrudge those that do. Good luck comes Buck Season!

What^ I don't understand? Any way stick with archery, it takes most hunters 5 years to get comfortable with archery. A lot of people miss because you are looking at the animal and you never put your head down all the way. In all the confusion of trying to keep your eye on the animal and the anchor point doesn't get done. Hunting isn't easy , I love the mindset of its a crossbow you are cheating. You still have to remember what got you there , which is shooting calmly at a target. Then a deer jumps in front of you and the heart starts beating, shaking starts and next thing you know you missed. Chalk it up suck it up and get your ass back out there and enjoy yourself! We all miss it sucks, get your balls busted and and have fun!
