Get it set up to the right draw length off the bat. Don't start practicing with a bow that doesn't fit you.

Shoot shoot and shoot some more. Gotta feel comfortable that you can make the shot when the time comes.

Most importantly have fun!!!

Fred Bear 2007 Element I did already get it set to the right draw length and a comfortable draw weight to get used to it. I'm a lefty too so the friends I have that bow hunt can't shoot my bow lol. The bow was sold in a package deal all set up with 6 arrows for $400.00 then ofcourse had to buy a release and case. But not a bad deal over I think. Been shooting some still have to get my own target.
Thanks for the advice so far

My advice.....stick with it. You'll probably get a little frustrated from time to time. Don't be too hard on yourself. Don't get discouraged, you'll get it. It's not as easy as it looks. Oh, and don't forget to have fun.
