Shoot more, shoot better!
by: Brandon Hammonds
I know what I always say, there is no more off-season! One thing I always try to do every off-season is shooting more and this year is no exception. I am always looking for ways to become a better shooter/archer and shooting
3-D has been a huge tool in my arsenal for the up coming hunting season.
This year again I was one of 20 people on Tuesday nights in Milan, MI to shoot the annual spring league and what a league this is! 3 targets a station and 10 stations. Every week the targets are moved at different angles and yardages to keep you and your skills sharp. Beside the fact that off-season shooting is one of the best ways for a bowhunter to keep his skills sharp. I know I have buddies that always say it’s like riding a bike. But not being on a bike for eleven months I am not going to jump on and pull wheelies. That is the type of thinking that you should.... we all should ....have when taking to the woods this fall.
This league will beat you up a little if you have not been shooting some 30 plus targets and a little warm up before you know it 50 arrows in a night. Advice for league or a get together with the guys, shoot some before hand so you don’t fell so tired after the first 15 targets or so. While they are lagging behind you will fill much better. My league is full challenging targets like a fox at 30 yards with camo drapes behind it hiding that little guy, dang he only has a 10x mark the size of a dime and kill zone smaller than a baseball! The league is designed for archers of all skill-levels, even though it is very hard it's a no pressure group and you just go out and do your best! This league gives you an opportunity to keep score and have it recorded for the 12 weeks to see how you did! Which that is always fun between me and my 4 other buddies! You can just imagine some of the jokes. 
Or you can just show up and shoot and enjoy and the 3-D shoot. Again beside all the great targets and shots and angles this is a huge step to what your goals maybe be for the fall. Without a doubt a huge boosts to your confidence every day walking into or out of the field. Shoot more, shoot better! Brandon C. Hammonds
