Title: Show your bow...
Post by: Keith Zimmerman on January 03, 2014, 06:13:00 PM
...when you takes pictures of it with a kill.  Why do guys lay their bows down on their kills and put the arrows on top?  You cant see the bow.  Put the bow down with the arrows down so you can appreciate the beauty of them in the pics.

I often get so hung up on the animal, I have forgotten to put my bow in the pic.   :banghead:

I sometimes have the arrows up because I like the colors of my arrows to pop in the picture, but generally it just ends up that way because it was the easiest way to prop my bow on the animal because that's the flat side.

I like a bow in the pic, but it should not take priority over the animal.  I prefer a tasteful background shot of the bow.  

Of course, if you've already gutted the critter, then a bow and arrows can hide your butchering work.

Blackhawk, I completely agree.  We should be honoring the animal.  Always cringe when I see an animal with a compound covering it.  Looks like a pc of machinery fell on it and killed it.  Stickbows arent so obtrusive.

X2 above.  We've all seen beautiful bows; mine in this pic is a hunting tool, a weapon.  Nothing too fancy.  

For me, I take the picture of my bow w/animal so I remember which one I used, setup, etc.  I'm usually trying to show the animal, not my bow.

Why not show both at the same time?  I can't imagine any arrows out there that would get damaged from laying the bow arrows down on an animal.  If that's the case, maybe get some from D/M custom arrows or another sponsor that can handle that kind of abuse:)  LOL!
