Just a friendly reminder to shoot your bow with your rain jacket on! Shoot it with your puffy! I
Last season I was extremely lucky. I had called my bull in to 56 yards and my friend was cow calling and all the bulls attention was on him. I peaked around the juniper and ranged a final time, adjusted my sight, drew, settled the pin and fired. Just like I'd practiced for countless shots. Problem was, the string caught the sleeve of my rain jacket and I missed by about 20 yards. It's lightly raining, and luckily the bull didn't hear the shot. So I pull up my sleeve, and shoot again. This time the string barely catches on my jacket by my bino harness and hits short. The bull is either deaf or stupid, and is still just standing there looking for where the cow calls are coming from. So, I half take off the jacket, re-range, take a breath, and fire for the THIRD shot. Hit's him perfect, heart shot. He hardly reacts to the shot, takes two steps, and rolls!
I was lucky that time, and now have a different rain jacket.
Good luck this season, shoot straight!
