Bowhunting Shots & Stances
Drilling for hunting shots matters! It mixes things up and simulates real world shooting at wild game! Do you shoot open? Closed? Or a mix of both? 🏹

I agree very much with that the video says I practice different stances that may come up in hunting situations I even shoot on my knees, setting down and even laying down to help be ready for any opportunity that may come up. Try it it's awesome.
👋 Hey Guys!...Let's Take The Time To Introduce Ourselves...
My name is Jenn Richardson, my husband, Grant Richardson and I created this group, TradBowhunter - Ethical Predator. We are from Ontario, Canada, I have had a love for the outdoors since I was little. My grandfather being a conservation officer in the United States and my other grandfather a trapper here in Ontario. I have been in Law Enforcement for over 26yrs, love the outdoors, marketing and business so decided to put all three together! This is a passion piece for Grant and I...My hubby being the subject matter expert with Traditional Bowhunting as well as an author, podcast host and 3rd generation traditional bowhunter. We wanted to bring like minded people together and create a place to share their experiences with traditional bowhunting. ----------------- Hey folks! Grant Richardson here - about myself... I was raised in a hunting family. I have Bowhunted with traditional gear all my life and started shooting bows when I was 3. I've been able to hunt all over North America and along the way this past 40 plus years hunting with trad gear I have learned that success is born not from tech or the latest camo but from long cold days in the woods and often- failure. Bows and arrows were always a part of my life and I was lucky to have an upbringing that emphasized time in the woods. I was able to see both the rise of Bowhunting in Ontario and the laws and regulations based on ethics & conservation formed- But - also to see them fall apart to an Industry that focused on the latest and newest tech or gadgets to bring wild game home and not the skillsets I was raised to respect and follow. The very fabric of those primitive weapon/Bowhunting seasons was based on the fact that it was harder to take game with a bow and arrow- simply that it was difficult- but there is the truth that many forgot or perhaps never learned. The Ethical Predator was created from those lessons learned all my life. I helped create this community seeing a need to bring folks from all over the world into a community that supported the old ways, from scouting, tracking & the heritage of Bowhunting I grew up with.

Hello I'm Rick, I have been bowhunting since I was 15 years old. I'm 68 now I started out with a Ben Pearson 55# right hand bow that my uncle let me use and fell in love with bowhunting. At the age of 16 my girlfriend got me a Browning Wasp and it was left-handed which was good because I'm left-handed. Things like shooting got a lot better after that. My birthday is in December and that following fall I harvested my first Buck deer a 6 point. After that I shoot every day and joined out local bowhunter club. I got very involved with the club made a lot of new friends. Went to club shoots and joined the Ohio Bowhunters club and started shooting in state shoots. Back then the clubs I was in had paper targets and held live hunts. Like carp shoots, squirrel hunts, groundhog hunts, frog hunts and then deer hunt with a big Buck contest. Everything but the deer hunting stuff was placed by the biggest , the most and the smallest harvested. I was 22 when I got my custom Black widow 2 take down 64" 66# left-handed bow which I still use today. When I want to change things up I hunt with a Bear longbow. I harvested tons of large and small game, even did some of that trick shooting like shooting apples off of post, aspirin out of the air. Kiddos liked that stuff. Some of my buddies Doug and Dennis Crabtree would put on a bowhunting education program every year before deer hunting season and did some demonstrations of dos and don't. Bow clubs are sure not like they use to be. Now it's about high-tech gear and a money game. I'm afraid bowhunting is getting lost from preserving the old ways like Pope and Young was trying to do. A true traditional Bowhunter is a life style you fall in love with and have to live it to truly understand it .
