Nine years ago I drew my last tag in Arizona for archery elk hunting. I've filled my falls with hunting excursions to other states and helping friends and family fill tags here in Arizona. During the last nine elk seasons one lesson I've learned is "There is no place like home" for elk hunting.
I have been successful in the past on self guided archery hunts in 3 different states. This Arizona tag is special to me because it's for a Unit I've never hunted before and it's taken me Nine Years to draw. It's a great Unit but was always my 2nd choice.
I'm starting this blog to help other hunters who might like to learn from an archery industry executive who is changing a lot about how he shoots his bow in order to help ensure success.
Have you heard of a paradigm? It was explained to me a long time ago by a fellow manager who stated "by doing a job, or any work for that matter, the same way and never changing because you've always done it that way is wrong". As an archer I have always used my fingers as a release. In my hunter education classes I would wiggle my fingers and tell my students I can't ever forget these and I've never misfired an arrow with my fingers as my release. Which is all true. And I've had great success in my hunting over the years. But I know I can do better!
Walk with me on my adventure of changing my shooting style from fingers to a release. From a slow finger shooting bow to a state of the art 300+ fps engineered beauty. Wait until you see her. PLUS... I want to prove to a lot of plastic loving vane users out there that FEATHER FLETCHINGS are the BEST choice for screaming fast arrows shot out of modern compound bows.
