Good day my fellow hunters. I hope this post finds you well.
I have decided to start practicing/shooting my 2D and 3D targets with my quiver attached as this can be more difficult than shooting without the quiver due to a right sided over countered balance.
In addition I have also been taking into account my shot placement in relation to the AH bowhunter shot placement guide.
Here are the results of my first shot placement accuracy drill in preparation for my hunt in Namibia this fall..........
Gemsbok a bit high at 60 yards. Possibly hitting upper lung area
Very dark Warthog .....high and left. Possibly hitting frontal lung area or perhaps breaking a shoulder at 50 yds
Trans-species poor man's whitetail Wildebeest. Hit left at 39 yards. Possibly hitting front lung area
Zebra, happy with this shot at 40 yards. Possibly a frontal heart shot.
Kudu kill at 30 yards. Very happy with this shot as his backstraps would be on my plate as well as good company's plates within the near future
My plan is to practice this at the end of each day when my archery muscles are exhausted from my weight training routine as well as shooting my daily four groups of five at 70 yards every 2 hours.
Any advice, questions, and/or jokes are highly appreciated and recommended.
Thank you for reading this post,
