10 Tips For Archery Success

Interested in learning 10 tips that will help you be more successful during bow hunting season?

1. Go early. Morning is a great time to be in your stand a full hour before daylight.

2. Be scent free. Wash your hunting clothes in scent free detergent and hang them outside or put them in a sealed container. Shower with a scent free hunter’s soap and use a nonscented deodorant.

3. Reapply odor elimination spray before shooting light. Work up a sweat while walking to the stand? Reapply as needed.

4. Don’t be afraid to rattle. Do you notice a lot of bucks with broken tines later on in the season? When do you think they broke them?

5. Know your bow. Good archers practice year round. Make sure you’ve done your practicing and trained your muscles so if the opportunity arises you’ll be ready.

6. Check the wind on a regular basis. Use a dry dust sprayer or WindSeeker to keep track of the breeze.

7. If your trees allow, you’ll make the best of the element of surprise by using a climbing stand.

8. Review your homework and be confident. Plenty of scouting time results in a confident hunter who hunts better. Make sure you’ve spent the needed time before the season watching your herd from afar.

9. Hunt longer. Buck the trend of breaking for breakfast. Even though normal deer activity will slack off in midmorning, other hunters moving around still gives you the chance of scoring. Hunt until after lunch before taking a break.

10. Enjoy the moment.
