After the the deer season is over in the spring and summer I still hunt with a bow to keep up with my accuracy
I mostly shoot starlings and i can actually get them to decoy over wooden silhouettes that i made and when they land i shoot them with Judo points or bludgeon tips as some call them
It is very fun to do on a boring day in the backyard

Man, that is neat. I don't know how I missed your post until now. What type of design did you use for your wooden decoys?

i was at a wood craft store andf i came across some piping plover silhouetes mounted on a platfrom by a wooden stake
So i bought 16 of them brought them home saw off the platform so that the stake is just left then i painted the silhouettes black and painted the beak
It's a total blast to do on those boring hot summer days
I also shoot them with a pellet gun when i feel like cheating

I dont hunt Bird's (Except Turkey) with my Bow, But I shoot at a Kickball Target all year round, It has really helped me with Judgeing distance.

Cool idea with the Bird decoys, I Might have to try that.;)

My mom and dad bait those starlings. :) They actually feed the other desirable birds, but when the starlings show up, they get out the pellet gun that shoots 1400 fps and has a 4 power scope.

This should get Mom back into shooting her bow.

What a great way to get some shooting in.
