Holy crap JD. You're so old a car only cost a quarter? Even I don't remember that. And yes, getting old does suck but nothing we can do about that. I'm not in the least offended. Mainly because I don't like rice pudding and I don't have to worry about the prostate exam as I currently don't have one. Keep that positive attitude going and you'll be okay.

I sat in my new set up for a week before I tried to draw the bow and found I couldn't.
My longbow was hitting my leg while aiming at my #1 shooting lane.
My form was all contorted, I couldn't come to full draw and I didn't have the right sight picture. I was a mess, no way I could have shot a deer.
After trying a few different things and then practising what worked I had it all figured out.
So your suggestion is a good one for any age and any weather. Thank you.
Scott.

I've hunted in negative temps, and yes it can be difficult to draw your bow in extreme cold, or even in just cool temps for us older hunters.
One word - Isometrics.
Doing isometrics, especially if doing them while mimicking the drawing of your bow will accomplish the same result. It will also help you to stay warm to some degree, and you are doing it without a lot of movement to get you busted.

I've been doing isometrics while hunting for years. That simple tighten/release of whatever muscle keeps the blood flowing, and there is no movement involved.

To loosen up before I hunt in the am and depending on my stiffness, I usually shoot 2 or 3 arrows into a target bag I have in the garage.
Really helps me gage my accuracy.
