welcome to the forums mnhotbabe, like mentioned earlier, practice a sitting shot, i prefer to stand and if anyway possible i will do so, i have never shot at one sitting, got a friend that does though, something he always told me toremember is watch where you bow limbs are when sitting/shooting, ie they can hit the climber /stand rails and the results will be another lost arrow[:-]or worse[&o]

also shoot a few does to "break the ice" anything you kill with a bow is a trophy in my book, not meaning that every deer will be a trophy but every deer you kill with a bow will stick in you mind, and like most on here slowly raise your standards

BTW from your handle i'd guess your from MN. how many deer have you let walk, here our limits are unbelieveable and where your at may be 1-2 deer, here i try to kill 3-7 does every year with my bow, goin sat, wooohoooo

best of luck it will happen, i'm thinking soon
