Cabin Fever?

The weather is getting warmer (slowly) and buds are starting to appear on plants...Mother Nature is beginning to emerge from her winter nap.
While I look forward to the leaves turning into their various colors, the weather turning more crisp, and the deer beginning their mating rituals each fall, there's something about spring that gets the archery blood pumping in me more so than normal.
Maybe it's the fact that I can get out of the indoor ranges and out onto the 3D courses. Maybe it's the spring scouting excursions that I love to do. Maybe it's the promise of yet another archery season on the horizon. Maybe it's knowing that millions of fawns will soon be born. Maybe I'm looking forward to matching wits with a new generation of mature whitetails this fall.
Whatever it is, I know that spring brings with it the anticipation of a new round with nature.
What that means for archers that haven't touched their bows since the end of last season is that it's now time to get them out, get them ready, and start practicing.
Go over your bow and make sure all the bolts and screws are tight. With an odorless lubricant, go over those cams and wheels. Ensure that your string and cables are in good condition and wax them up. Replace them if they are in need of it.
The weather is soon going to break and now is the time to begin practicing for the upcoming archery season even though it's only April! Don't wait until a few weeks before the season opens to dig out that bow. Even if you think that'll be enough time to be ready, it won't be...trust me!
So dust off those bows and get out there...nature is beckoning and it's a call I can't resist.
