Bow Prep Pre Season

windingcrossbowboltWhen the air begins to get crisp, when the leaves begin to change, that is when you know the season for bow hunting is on us again. Bow season is coming, and it is not far off now. By this time, you should hopefully already have a game plan figured out regarding what your bow hunting season is going to entail. It is generally a good idea for you to have a bow checklist that will help to prepare you ahead of time for the season. Preparing your bow for the upcoming season is not going to be a unique task, because bow hunters tend to be creatures of habit after all. Check out this bow checklist to see what you should do in order to prepare yourself, and your gear, for the upcoming season.

Bow Maintenance

There is nothing wrong with spending time shooting your bow even during the offseason. On the bright side, when you shoot your bow during the off season it will make it easier for you to keep up with regular maintenance for your bow, such as making sure that the strings are waxed, making sure that the strings are in good condition, making sure that there are no frays on the strings, making sure the limbs have no stress cracks, making sure that the noise dampeners and the vibration dampeners are in good condition, making sure the cams are all in tune and so on.

Bow Practice

It is important that you ensure that you get plenty of practicing time with your bow before you climb in the stand, and this is especially important if you are using new arrows, new sights or new broad heads that you are not used to. This is one of the most important steps in the prep for your bow before the season. There is nothing worse than stretching out the string for a one-in-a-lifetime kind of trophy only to see your arrow cruise beneath him because you didn’t zero in before the season opener. After all, if you’re spending a lot of money on your bow hunting gear, then why not make sure that you are justifying the investment by getting your practice in long before the real shots come into play.

It is important that you take the time to become re-familiarized with your pins and the yardage that you have them set for. If your pins are in need of adjustment, then make sure that you get all of the zeroing in and the adjusting before hand. Make sure that you are taking the time to get yourself acquainted with your bow all over again in order to achieve the best possible results. The preparation that you make pre season can be all the difference when it comes to catching that trophy buck you have always been waiting for, or going home empty handed.
