November Bow Tune-Up

November is a great time to start thinking about your setup. I find it’s the perfect season to turn your poundage down and begin building stamina and consistency through indoor shooting and regular practice.

Let’s be honest—most of us don’t get many reps in during hunting season. Usually, it’s a quick check of our sights and setup, and then we’re off to the field.

Instead of putting your bow away to collect dust, take some time to evaluate it for wear and tear. Check the condition of your strings, look for any changes you may want to make, and start preparing for the upcoming season.

Keep your bow out this year. Make changes, shoot leagues, and continue putting in reps. You’ll improve, build confidence, and have a lot of fun along the way.

This is also a great time of year to try a different release. One thing that is often overlooked is the equipment changes that may be needed when switching releases. Moving from a wrist-strap release to a thumb release, for example, can—and likely will—require adjustments to your draw length, peep height, and possibly your D-loop length.

A little help with technique can also go a long way when getting started. Indoor season is the perfect time to work through those changes and build a more consistent shot.
