So I Passed...

[josephmrtn]

My bow course... took it at jims archery shop in pulaski on saturday. passed with only one question wrong, so now im an official NY Bowhunter!!! yehaw!!! oh the one thing they stressed like crazy was RAZOR SHARP broadheads... that stuck with me... i think im gonna be doing some sharpening before the season even tho mine are brand new...

instructor told a story bout a deer he shot, thing looked up glanced around and went back to eating... he said it was bleeding like a stuck pig and he could see his arrow in the ground on the other side of the deer, anyhow long story short deer stands there eating for a little bit and then drops over dead... easiest blood trail ever lol

Congrats dude.   You will quickly fall in love with bow hunting!

[Jeremy K]

Make sure you do some shooting with your hunting clothes on to make sure they don't interfere at all . You'll only mess that up once and you will feel like complete crap for not checking first .

Shoot from a treestand so when the moment of truth comes there is no guessing. Arrow flight is a little different.

Congrats !

Congrats on passing your bow test.

Its a very easy test... just remember the correct answer to the shooting times question is sunrise to sunset.... thats the only one i got wrong

[Fantail]

Look forward to a few years from now. If all goes well that's when you'll wonder why you didn't grab a Bow a long time ago.

Good hunting.

[HuntOrBeHunted]

Very nice brother. I love shooting and hunting with a bow. Good luck on some bullseyes.

One wrong is not bad at all. But what time did you think it was from?

[ncountry]

Great job! A few hints you may or may not know.....

Always shoot bow with broadheads( many bows will not hit same spot...need to be tuned or resighted) well before hunting season, so you can fix any problems

When in a treestand or any other awkward position, bend at waist, do not drop or raise arm.

Congrats Joe. Can'[t wait to see the pics from the first deer. Good luck and the guys are right...practice practice practice

since you were at an archery shop, did you bring your bow and have one of the pro's check it out and give you advice on what you may or may not need to do to correct some of the issue's you were having?

Not really all that "stupid".  Some place and/or some game is like that.  For example, in Jersey legal hunting hours is 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset.  I can see how that can be mistaken.

not for coyotes, so you technically didn't get it wrong!

[PREDATE]

download and print a good sunrise/sunset chart for your area and keep it in your bow case. I use thishttp://www.sunrisesunset.com/usa/
