I'm serious all the time. When season starts, I'll use any of three or four different bows, maybe more. A few different arrows and heads as well. They're all well tuned and pretty much shoot the same.

I shoot what I hunt with 24/7, 365 days a year!
I play with a couple others at 3D shoots and such but only practice with one.

I'll shoot a lot of bows up to and including ETAR (Denton Hill in late July). After that, I'll greatly narrow my focus to one bow until archery season is over. I think the Pa. Archery Season starts the first Saturday in Oct.

I'm pretty much in hunt mode all the time. I shoot all my bows the same, and i'll switch them through out the season. I'm not a real "social" hunter in that i dont do 3d shoots much. I shoot every day at home.

Pretty much right about now - first of July. Broadhead league starts next week and the bow for that league is already ONLY shooting broadheads. That bow is also my go-to bow for hunting season.

All year long, I have 6 bows and shoot them all, same arrow set up for all of them so whichever I decide to use on a partucular day, I use.

I only shoot one bow...till I find my next favorite.
Right now I'm very happy with what I have.
I occasionally shoot a broad head during the year just to make myself feel better.
About a week before season and all through the season I shoot broadheads only.

I shot my first broadhead since last deer season last wk. I shoot two sessions a day and from now till just before the season I'll shoot one or two broadheads along with my field points every round. Then nothing but broadheads.
The Simmons fly as good as my field points..it just getting use to the sight picture.

The extents to which I know my equipment, degree of competency and acquired confidence level dictate the timing to restrict myself to one set-up if required.

I try and stay on top of things all year long. I've got hogs close by most all year.
This year has turned out almost perfect as far as timing.I had Rod Jenkins out for a clinic the first weekend in April.Those of you that have attended his clinic know the homework involved. I'm just now finishing up the bridge and have started shooting out of a tree stand here in the last week or so. I feel more confident this year than I ever have.

Like everyone else, I try and shoot whenever I can, but summer is striped bass season over here....so I do slow down on hunting till about late August. Then I change mentalities and prioritze hunting over fishing.
