I'm just so "fresh" with archery just around 5 active years behind, but I have real enjoyed to shoot outdoors, even on winters I have used to shoot more outside. it's always exciting to see deers and foxes in forest even shooting in field targets. It gives time to relax and confront ones innermost.
Now after accuracy has grown and overall firmness strengthened
I have started to plan to make local hunters exam on next fall (just theory exam no shooting test for bow hunters.) then I can think to extend shooting also to hunting, though here in Finland it is quite small game which is allowed to hunt with bow If I remember correct, roe is biggest which allowed to hunt with bow...so no moose or bear not even forest reindeer. At least not locally
speaking of odd regulations direct from hunting law book which I'm reading: " while hunting , deer, moose, roe and like, it is not allowed to use dog which withers height is over 28 cm (11.2 inches) if it is not in leash " so where on earth one gets so small dogs it ain't much

"while using self loading guns (only semiautomatic), one is not allowed to use more than two ammo's in "clip" while hunting bear and moose, if hunting other smaller game it is allowed to have 3 ammo's on ones clip"
Not like in Texas
So basically here in Finland hunters get quite tough because we have to self run and catch the rabbit which is nearly the biggest target along Canadian beaver, yes nearly forget fishing is allowed too but not without water owners permission (€)
