    Drew first NM elk tag, Unit 45 for late October!!!

    I'll be coming in from the Pecos area. I have a friend who guides in that area so unsure where we'll go in from. I have been studying the area on OnX, working my way to the Hamilton Mesa looks like it could be promising.

    Drew first NM elk tag, Unit 45 for late October!!!

    Have been watching Randy's e-scouting series and started familiarizing myself with using the application and unit 45. Can anyone who's hunted this area give any guidance or share an experience from hunting this area? I am beyond excited and eternally grateful for the chance to harvest a bull!

    Experience hunting with a recurve

    I've been focusing on the mechanics of my shot, trying to gain muscle memory on my draw for each shot. Like you mentioned, I've going with instinctive aiming and I have been comfortable shooting that way. I'm afraid to try other methods and ruin what I'm actually most comfortable doing already...

    All great tips indeed! I am focusing on develop muscle memory in my draw. I would like to develop a repeatable set up to my shot, like a golfer has a pre-swing routine.

    I've been reading about gap shooting. I'm not sure I should attempt this approach as I still learning form and developing muscle memory for my draw and aim.

    Exactly JTHOMP. I need to practice outside on 3-D target so I can learn how to aim while learning how to judge various distances.

    Experience hunting with a recurve

    That's great information ZBB, thank you for that. I'm shooting with a 45# recurve from Cabela's that I really like. I'm also using Carbon arrows that are 400-500 spine and using 150 gr field points. There's an archery range that I go practice at and they tweaked my bow and made sure the arrows...

    Experience hunting with a recurve

    I am new to archery and was immediately drawn to using a recurve bow to the point where I am eager to get to the range and practice as often as I can. I would like to hear from experienced hunters who use a recurve and hear their experiences, lessons learned and any tips they can impart!
