You're training so that you're ready for the day when that bear will inevitably attempt to maul you. Remember... aim for the groin for critical damage!
Yeah man, getting SO ready lol. NH has been put on hold, maybe indefinitely, because of unforeseen circumstances of someone entering my life. Long story short archery and hunting might become more a hobby than a way of life; still pisses me off that that assholes skull made it so I can’t shoot my bow anymore tho
Careful with stuff like tendons and such. Let these things heal properly. Usually, most civilized people only encounter minor external cuts and bruises, which heal like *snap*, but anything "deeper" require a bit more patience or you may make matters worse
Crossbows can have the force to slice a finger off if fully drawn back. So i'd be VERY careful when loading the arrows into one if you ever obtain one.
