Tracking a deer through a torrential downpour tested patience. Even with a dog, the trail went cold. Early season hunting means looking for subtle signs in thick terrain where deer can bed anywhere. #archery #hunting

A draw board is pretty key for checking bow timing and center shot accuracy. You can eyeball it with help, but a dedicated press makes the process much smoother, even if they run $600-$700. #archery #bowhunting

Archery comes with its own challenges. There's the heavy draw weight that tests your strength, and then there are those unexpected release mishaps. It really highlights how crucial it is to use your own release aid, and the journey of starting out in archery is full of learning curves. #archery

It's been a frustrating outdoor #archery season... My form and shot process are the best they've ever been but my scores haven't caught up. At the start of the year I thought I'd be shooting all-gold ends at 70m semi-regularly, but it's taken until now to do it again. Onwards! #olympicrecurve
Arrow straightness is key for accuracy and range. Adding weight tubes to heavier arrows maintained performance without re-sighting. A forgotten aim cost a shot, though. #archery #precision
