eightwgt, don't get discouraged! You don't have to shoot out to 25 yards. Just limit yourself to what you feel confortable with. What you don't want to do is force yourself toshoot accuratelyout to a predetermined range. It is something that will come with time by itself. It you try to force it, it could make things worse. In my experience, I have deer every year within 10 yards. Just maybe not the one that I want. You may have to reflect on the quality of deer that you are willing to take. Quality standards, may have to be changed. But that OK in my book.
