Hmm, interesting. I suppose I take a few things for granted. Personally I practice with my bow all year. Will move target and go out next evening morning or any time and shoot one arrow to make that one count. If I miss by few inches suck it up and wait til next day cause coulda been a miss. Neighbors think I'm a nut ball probably cause I can get done standing on my boat practicing pitching a jig then slinging a slug in July just to practice. To me I enjoy the preparation as much as the chase. Just me and I'm sure others! I would hope everyone practices with there weapon of choice and enjoys it. It's great it's the U S freakin of A. As far as the antis go there are enough intelligent people here to speak with them. You just keep a level head let them get cranked up. I've had the group show up at bass tournaments dressed as bass saying what if u bit something and was ripped into the sky where you couldn't breathe. I calmly offered my phone number and said when that happens call me and we will talk until then please move. To the point please practice, practice, and practice some more!
