No matter what anybody says you have to make that decision!!!!! One thing I can tell ya was I didn't just stop with 3 books and a couple of video's.... I read every thing I could get my hands on and watched at least a 100 video's. But I'm the type of person that doesen't do things half ---ed!!!! I've been hunting since I was 11 years old. I was self tought bow hunter, turkey hunter and every thing else I do... So I guess what I'm getting at is you'll never be good at anything that your heart isin't in Not trying to beat you up just sounds like your heart just aint in it....
