Bowhunting, Part II - The New Bow

Well, I figure I had shot somewhere between 1,000 and 1,500 practice arrows with that bow I had borrowed from my buddy. I had the poundage lowered to give some relief to my neck and shoulder muscles and had even found one of my missing arrows. Though I was getting quite used to the bow and how it shot, I kept thinking that I should really investigate buying a new bow. The technology has changed dramatically in the last 5 or so years and, well, I'm not getting any younger so I decided that if I was really gonna deer hunt with a bow, I probably should get a more powerful, more modern one.
After much research, I ordered a new bow and it arrived last week. I won't give out the make and model cuz I'm not in the advertising business. Let's just say it's one of the brand names out there and, well, they did give me a free cap.
I increased the poundage on the bow, since I'm now getting so strong, had my arrows shortened to accomodate my draw length, and with the new parallel limb technology, this bow shoots one fast arrow and much quieter as well.
There's only one problem with this scenario. When you miss the target, your arrow tends to go much farther much quicker. This would explain my activities of yesterday morning as I spent a half hour searching for a wayward arrow I let fly on Thursday. I did find it, however, so still have my five arrows.
I still haven't built myself up to a point where I can shoot this bow 60 arrows in a session. The bow is strung too tight for that so I have to build up my shoulder a little bit more.
Now I gotta build some bow stands. I have seven stands on the property but they are rifle stands and won't work for bow hunting. I've got three spots picked out so far. So, now it's time to fight the bugs and the heat and start dragging lumber out into the woods. The season starts in seven weeks.
