Good advice. It's like shooting pool . You'll never get better if you don't play someone better than yourself. And practice, practice, practice!!!

Another great tip is to practice low light shots. Go out and shoot at sunset until dark. It's amazing how as the light fades groups open up, especially at longer distances. Many of deer I've shot have been in that twilight time after sunset prior to dark.

This is one of the best things a bow hunter can do yet so few do. I am always amazed at how many people don't practice before season starts. Maybe fling a couple arrows under perfect conditions and call it good day before opener. I shoot year round, and this season I am adding tree stands to my hunting methods, always hunted from ground blind or spot and stalked. So I add practice from tree stands to the mix along with long shots. I also practice shooting through small gaps in brush and trees. All of this helps me focus on the target better, specially shooting through gaps in brush and trees with a breeze. I hold my draw longer, breath smoother. And as a result more accurate. Practice further than you hunt and do it when conditions aren't perfect, windy days are a favorite of mine to practice.

Long range shooting absolutely improves concentration, and your stability of the bow arm. Been doing it for years, and it is the best simple tip for becoming a better shooter. My brothers and I used to love standing at the target and throwing each other's arrows at varying angles and distances to stick in the ground. We then would shoot them from where they stuck. Good for judging distances, and learning how to aim with your sights for varying in between distances. Happy hunting all!

This is excellent advice. I typically shoot at 60 to 40 and come time for that 20 yarder u couldn't be more right

I always practice from 20-100+ yards!!! Its a lot of fun shooting those long ranges and it really helps tremendously for the shorter range shots!!!

That is the best tip! Bow hunting rocks!! By the way Jeff a couple of your fellow you tube habitat guys are starting to pickup on a couple of your concepts. I guess you have to take it as a compliment!

Great advise. I practice at 60-80 yards to make that 30-40 yard shot a slam dunk.

I only shoot my broad heads. I’ve shot and won a few tournaments myself. Mostly second place but that was good enough for me. All the prizes didn’t matter to me it was making it through on one arrow no more. Your exactly right brother great advice. 30 yards is my limit I don’t shoot any farther than that at deer or targets.

I agree a 100% i practice at 60-80 it makes 20,30,40 yds a walk in the park. And Uncle Ted Says "aim small miss small" That is the only 2 things that anybody really needs to worry about after they get their form and stance dialed in.

I love watching through your internet video. Thanks!

Great advice! I will give it a try!

Great advice , solid , thank you !

Good solid advice.

Great tip. And then when you get TOO confident at shorter ranges (me), remind yourself to slow down and aim small 😂😂😂

This video really helped me

Great advice, thanks

Great tip Sir

Awesome info. I'd like to hear your opinions I broadheads and arrows. I have the same arrows as you mine are (250s) and am curious if I should be shooting a heavier arrow, fixed or mechanical. Good info for a new bow hunter. Thanks

Awesome. ..Thank you for the tip

Great advice brother. GOD BLESS.

He's right, and you need a rangefinder, a simple one like halo or Bushnell is fine just make sure it has an angel compensator built in you don't want the ones that are just for straight line of sight, those are for golf and such. Always practice with your broadheads, field tips and broadheads rarely hit exactly the same spot. Don't take longer shots than you are comfortable with and always check your string before hunting season even comes close to starting, if you need to replace it do it during summer and the string will be set during the hunting season. I like the new ghost strings, there the best, or America's Best Bowstrings, their good to. Have fun wear a safety harness and good luck, if I forgot anything ask me and I'll answer. I only hunt with a bow, and love it.

Good tips, problem is this is what I do already. One thing I do is I put up yard markers in my shooting lanes so I don't have to use a range finder when hunting. Also I'm trying the ezv sight this year, have you heard of it & if so what do you think about it?

Thanks 😊 Such a simple tip. Been bowhunting for some years but had a break of 2 years. Just needed to be reminded. Now I live in a place where I can shoot long distance. Here in Denmark 25 meters is max distance for bowhunting. Can you guess my practicing distance 😂😊 Nice video. Thanks again

Man I love the o.c.s.c..like you said after doing the bow broadhead league and indoor League no deer was safe I was sponsored by PSC and BowTech and I can actually shoot my bow farther than I can at 12 gauge shotgun thanks for the video and thanks for bringing Michigan and the video it made me smile I'm like man do I really know this guy he looks familiar I should shoot with Jim Beasley and Paul and Mike and Tom a lot of the Oakland county sportsmen's club guys are you originally from Michigan

Shooting traditional will improve your compound accuracy by magnitudes of order.

What were you shooting into? Looked like wood. What's a good broadhead target? Thanks for all of your great videos. I'm super excited for this year.

Thanks for the practice advice! I will definitely try it. What release do you use?

Me to brother. Nothing like bow huntin now. It has a diff kind of rush to it. In a league all its own.

It's about gaining skill and confidence. If u r not confident at 40...you could still be not confident at 20. You have to be shooting in 10 circle to kill big game

good tip. second best tip is angle of the shot how high your stand is an the yardage of the deer could mean shooting high or it could be the difference in getting one lung or two saw the elevated platform it's probably good to shoot some off of that too.

Great Video! And what bow sight do you use for Hunting and the size of pins? Thanks.....

Agreed! I always practice between 40-80 yds. Makes me deadly accurate at 0-30 yds.

Hey Jeff what do you think about crossbow never had the time to bow hunt while I was working the wife surprised me with the crossbow any tips

I am a neophyte to the sport (2 seasons under my belt) I don't know what you mean when you refer to being "over bowed". Can you clarify that for me? I love your videos and insights and look forward to learning more.

I like to change levels too using ladders and stuff

You know I am a loaner always have been, So I practice at least 4 times a week for 8 months , Last year I went bow hunting with two guy's that are very fungal I sluppy walkie talkies among other stuff but really piss me off was the two guy's I hunted with they couldn't hit the broad side of a barn , because they waited until the last minute to practice, I was in a tree stand 18 feet high when a 3 1/2 doe run on my left side about 25 yards I waited and executed a shot in the upper shoulder area came through her stomach and cut her leg as well she run towards my ex friend on his bate pile and drop dead , November 13th 2020 , the next day around 5 ish I am in my tree stand 18 feet high and I am right-handed on my right side I knowndest a deer coming towards me on my right side ,I switched hands using a crossbow 45 to 50 yards away left-handed executed watched my lighted nocks lit up after I pulled the trigger and watch the deer jumped so high I waited ten minutes called my ex friends but before the came I climb down walked over where my arrow was stuck in the grow there were hair and blood on the arrow it was a button buck heavier the heck but my experience pay off November 14th 2020 my ex friends couldn't do what I did because they never practice

Better quality venison when harvested with a bow as well!! I don't have enough pins to practice that long of a shot... set for 10-20-30yds.. should I move them to 20-30-40yds maybe?

I can help allot.

Hi Jeff I am in the market for a range finder. What would you recommend?

Is he shooting into a wood target?

Shoot, even our archery decoys are smaller on the east coast 😂

hey jeff what sight is that

Why not shoot at the same distances you expect to hunt up to, but with targets half the size of the vitals?

Talk fast buddy talk fast time is valuable

Would you recommend the same for a crossbow?

Whats that thing he's using to pull back arrow

This is my first year bowhunting and I need at least a 40 lb. draw weight but I can’t draw it straight back even with a weight that low I don’t know what to do

2:58 is what you came for

Every deer that i have shot have been within 50 yards

Lose an arrow at 80 yards? That's a small target. Only lost one arrow at 50 because I used the wrong pin.

Up your game and try a Traditional Bow!

Hey brother

Focus on key points because I can’t recall really anything that you said just blah blah blah. No offense just constructive criticism

I never really enjoyed firearm deer hunting. I exclusively bow hunt now even during firearms season. Last time I hunted with a firearm I actually passed a target buck so I could get him with the bow. Personally I think high powered rifle hunting should be banned.
