deer season is 4 months in nj so i shoot a couple weeks before and the entire season even gun season with crossbow
Archery deer season in Arkansas last 5 months . It begins the last week in September and goes through February. Our bag limit is six deer. Now days, I limit myself to two deer, and I've taken my two deer, so basically I'm finished. After the gun season ends Dec 15, I may do a little hog hunting with my crossbow.deer season is 4 months in nj so i shoot a couple weeks before and the entire season even gun season with crossbow
I shoot both my crossbow and my compound all year in my basement range you can't practice too much that's my philosophy.Who shoots their crossbow year-round? When I first got my crossbow, I shot it daily up until the deer season opened. Now that the deer season is behind me, I'm not shooting the xbow at all. When the weather permits, I'm back to shooting my Hoyt compound on a regular basis for recreation....I'm enjoying the crossbow experience, but I guess the xbow will be a seasonal weapon. I will occasionally shoot my xbow some during the year, just not on a regular basis. ...I might add, I'm not an off hand shooter.. I switched to a crossbow to make a quick, clean kill and not to create more challenge and drama. My challenge days are behind me. I have several Caldwell field and tree pods that I use for hunting. The switch to a crossbow has brought back the excitement for hunting,
To me it's a distraction that takes my mind away from work. Lucky, I found a new hobby/sporting activity later in life.I shoot whenever I get the urge to. I don't set any limits on this. Only limit I practice is saftey. But I shoot my heart out as much as time and energy allows. If I feel like taking a shot I take it. Keep it simple. This is recreation also as much as it is work. So have fun with it. You only live once.
Now that is cool! Envious!My basment has a 20yd range. Shoot all yr round, whether its my compound or the crossbow.
Are you guys running the XR this year?Not nearly as much between late August and the first of the year. But from January through mid August is close to 10 thousand shots every year.
