As bow hunting season approaches, excitement is in the air, and it’s time to buckle down in your preparations. You will get the most out of this rewarding time of year if you start off well-prepared with the right tools. The archery range experts at M & M Archery Range and Pro Shop in Independence, KY, can help you start off on the right foot. If you have not already leveraged the preparation techniques below, then it’s time to start them.

Follow these tips as you visit the archery range to prepare for the upcoming season:

• Work on Your Form: No matter how long you’ve been working with your crossbow, there is always room for improvement. Archery lessons provide insight into your form that you just can’t get from practicing alone. A professional can critique your form and give tips that you can use for years.
• Use Google® Earth: Google Earth is an underutilized but extremely useful tool for scouting your hunting spots. The bird’s eye view offers a unique perspective that you can’t get out in the field and will make your planning more strategic. Look at the locations you’re considering and find the perfect spot for your tree stand.
• Become a Student: Any experienced hunter knows that strategy and skill are necessary when operating a bow. Before hunting an animal, you should understand as much as possible about its behavior and the best strategies to hunt it. Your local pro shop may have some useful books you can read, and fellow hunters might be willing to share their strategies with you.
