As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days in the field.

This show is about translating my hard-won experiences into tips and tactics that will

get you closer to your ultimate goal, success in the field.

I'm Remi Warren.

This is Cutting the Distance.

Welcome back everybody.

Hope that you've really been enjoying this four-part series on becoming a bow hunter.

We've so far covered what you need to know, like getting into equipment, as well as the

fundamentals of making a good shot and what it takes to put arrows on the target.

But now we're going to take that a step further and translate it into the basics of shooting

on-game.

So I think that we've all graduated from that hunter level.

We're going to be going into the 201 level of this archery instruction.

It'll be all about what's needed to make that shot that counts.

So if you're a new bow hunter, I'm going to tell you right now that shooting at a deer

is absolutely nothing like shooting at a target in the backyard.

There's no bull's eye.

There's rarely a perfect set up.

And you don't get to go shoot a big group and then take the best arrow.

So this week we're going to go through the basics of a field shot on-game, including how

and when to draw back and anchor at the right time, as well as picking a spot when aiming

and executing a perfect shot when really excited.
