Well, I told myself yesterday that I wouldn't shoot today. I had an opportunity and I couldn't help but to get that new Yellow Jacket target bag out and shoot some arrows. I shot about 50 arrows at various distances and sighted in my 40 yard pin. All I have left to sight in is the 50 and 60 yard pins. I can't stop. I have shot now for the past three days and the 60# draw is getting very manageable over extended shooting sessions. Hitting a bulls eye at 40 yards is the same to me as knocking a 5 wood to within 5 feet on a par 5. This means that I am hooked and I will have to force myself to take breaks to let my muscles heal. I am not really sore and each time I practice I find something to work on. Today I worked on release and follow through. Is this behavoir okay? LOL
 
Don't even bother with the 12 step program.It is a waste of time.There is no cure.You are a junkie now.Feed your habit but do not pressure yourself to perform at a high level all the time.keep it fun.
 
Seriously, if you're a golfer don't shoot an archery tournament. You will be done.

I was (key word was) a very serious golfer with the handicap to match. Since I got serious about archery I'm not sure where my clubs are :D

Ha ha...I know where the clubs are at, but I did take my Bushnell Pin Seeker range finder and stuck it in my archery bag. The clubs won't get out for a bit, the bow is definately going to get some work in.
 
It is totally addicting just wait until you kill a deer then you will really be hooked. Just don't practice so much you get tired then your accuracy will suffer. I have hunted deer for 24 years now and bow hunting excites way more than gun. I still gun hunt but getting deer right up close is really a rush.

I've been practicing every other day or two, but weekends I'll shoot both Saturday and Sunday. I'm about to spool up my fishing reels and get ready for some jig and pig action, so I will have to make sure I stay sharp with my bow.
