Pre-hunt Accuracy

Within a week of my first bowhunt of the year, I want my bow sighted for broadheads and my first arrow and first group of the day as good as I can expect.  After all, it’s too late to fix anything.  I’ve been that guy at the range the night before the season trying to sight broadheads (and cussing up a storm) while my friends are already at camp drilling stumps at 80 yards.  Never again (at least as much as I can control).

Here are four quick videos with only a few days to go until the hunt for Jalapeño begins.:

1) Where I was with two month’s practice:

2) Where I’m at with one week until the opener:

I won’t win any awards, but I’m happy with that.  

3)  Now let’s take a look at what accuracy on the mountain probably really looks like:

4) Finally, a little fun at 80 yards:

Actually I’m thrilled with the results of combining the Athens Convixtion bow, the Black Gold Ascent, Ripcord Rest, and Solid Broadheads.  It’s the best this deer hunter has ever shot and a testament to how keeping up with the latest equipment can give you an edge not possible 10 years ago. 

If you’re just tuning in, you can get caught up on all the equipment used in those videos here (and win an Athens Bow, Tight Spot Quiver, and Solid Broadheads)
