I'm sure somebody out there will be shooting a bow for the first time at a live animal with no preparation!

Guys do it though .I heard of a few sold yesterday . :crazy: I have bought or tested new bows during the season for a backup , while using my primary bow for hunting until I could get comfortable with the new bow and get it dialed in before hunting , but I wouldn't think of buying a primary bow the day before season .
old spice deoderant, aqua velva aftershave, new x bow and a dozen arrows. some dude was looking at me funny when i was trying to sight it in though. couldnt help it, ive never shot one before.

Was in Bass Pro today picking up a Range Finder. They were selling Bows and Crossbows like they were going out of style!

Last year I discovered cracks in my bow limb just a couple weeks before season. I didn't want to risk having the new limbs delivered too late, so I bought a new bow. Had plent of time to get it sighted in and get myself adjusted to the feel of the shorter, smoother-drawing bow.
New limbs for he old bow arrived a week before season...it's my backup bow now.
And yes, I spent over $50 at BPS yesterday on some lightweight warm weather clothes...should have gotten a new rain suit!

Doesn't surprise me. I wish salesmen at any pro-shop would emphasize the great importance of practice and familiarizing themselves with any bow long before hunting.. Respect for the animal's life.. Also, remind them that they will be representing a sport that is under constant scrutiny.
DOH! Too rainy this morning, so I went to Richard's and cashed in a coupon (about to expire) on a 16' stick ladder. Put it togehter a while ago. Looks like a 2 pm till death or dark for me today.

I work at the bass pro in sevierville and we do tell the ones who are just starting out to practise. We also spend time with the customer in the range and have them hitting bulls eye before they leave.

Me being new to running a shop i really didnt know what to expect. Ive always heard the horror stories and after the last couple days ill be able to add some. Folks that dont want to take the time to properly sight in and hone their skills IMO do more to hurt our great sport than promote it.

I was at BPS Thursday and was shocked how many people was buying targets. Asked one fella, wore out the old one. Nope, just starting to practice.

I hate to admit it, but over 20 years ago, a friend of mine asked me to go bowhunting with him. This was my very first bowhunt. I did not own a bow. I borrowed my brother's proline (pulled 45 lbs and was shooting some arrows that were sized 18/16 I believe, I still have the arrow and broadhead, I believe it had an old Bear broadhead on it) and shot it maybe 20 times in the backyard. My full extent of shooting a compound was those 20 times. I had shot a longbow maybe 100 times other than that.
We went to Shady Grove, TN and hunted his place. I hunted that morning out of a permanent stand. Did not see anything. Midday we scouted and I found a trail I liked.
I climbed in my homemade climbing stand. It got hot, I mean in the 80's. I took my shirt off, and only had on camo pants and boots, no headnet or anything else. About 4 p.m. I look and here come 2 deer. I draw back on the doe and just before I let go (was shooting with tab) I notice the second deer has horns. I ease down and wait for him. I shoot him broadside at 35 yards. He runs off.
I get down and go get my buddy Steve and he comes back to help me find the buck. He did not go 80 yards, a 4 pointer and I have been hooked on bowhunting ever since.
