[cacciatore]

I've got a great 40 target 3-d course here local that is set up year round that is the best one I've seen.just went there yesterday w/ Elknutz,good times, good practice, and good friends what more do you need.

I am fortunate not to have an off season from hunting in GA. We can hunt rooters year round but I do shoot every night at the house and get over club a couple times a week to shoot 3D's. Also do a lot of stump shooting while looking for pigs and shooting areas for deer season.

[Mack_S]

I'm lucky enough to live a 5 minute walk from my local range and shoot just about everyday.  We also have hogs year round here in California, so our season never really ends either.

i build bows/ arrows and shoot in my backyard in the off season so far, and scout hunting spots for the next year. soon im going to find a local club i can shoot 3d at, but right now work takes alot of my time.

Gets to damn cold to shoot outdoors during the Winter here so I usually pummel a sack full of bags in the apartment till Spring hits. Then stump shoot as often as possible and hunt the few rodents the Province allows, although they only let us hunt the ones I rarely see. Thank goodness for Bear season which started on Saturday. Now if only I had a bow.

Is there an off season?

[joevan125]

I try to shoot everyday but during the summer the heat becomes to much so i shoot in my basement( 10yds ).

I am always tinkering with my trad bows and it makes the summer months pass a little faster.

Shoot, shoot and more shoot. Hog hunt, work on arrows, equipment, stands etc. mShoot some more, go fishing once in awhile and mow the grass.

Off season???

[Bill Skinner]

I try to practice at least every other day.  Hunt hogs, turkey season is in until the end of April.  Paddle my kayak up the river and check for fresh hog sign, then go hog hunting.  Deer season starts the 15th of Oct and lasts until Jan 31st.  Bill

I think I have killed something every month of the year, I'm with HP, OFF season?!

[Plumber]

this is a nonstop endevor.There are just different phases.Feb.is a slow month march-aug. re group buy bows, reup on supplys, an shoot alot of 3-d, scout, plan trips, save my money.Feb I ponder the season an think about what I may change the next year.the worst thing I ponder about in Feb. is the very painful misses.these expearances will make me a better bow hunter.I tell my self that all the best bowhunters miss.but it dosent make the pain go a- way however you do gain growth from year to year.

3-D

Dart Target System (virtual hunting, which has helped me pick a spot better than any other type of practice.

Stump shooting, which is some of the best practice in my opinion for learning your arrows flight path. Unknown distances make your brain focus and help creat that built in range finder.

Train in Mixed Martial Arts for conditioning. It really helps for elk season, maintaining a good diet, and keeping the weight off.
