Biggest bit of advice is be patient. Every mistake seems exaggerated while bow hunting to me. You have to learn when you and move to position for the shot. You have to read body language and anticipate the shot. I aim a little differently with bow vs rifle. In my opinion once someone learns to be a decent bow hunter, gun hunting isn’t much of a challenge any longer.


this. Since bow hunting, its made me a much better rifle hunter in general. Entrance to and from stand will be much more important as will the wind. I assume you'll be hunting from a tree stand? Back cover is very important as well as having shooting lanes. I like to use scents when bow hunting and have had good success with tarsal glands.

Obviously you have to get them in closer and hopefully putting their attention on something besides you.

Good hunting
