Thanks to all you vets. If I wasnt for yoy guys and gals doing what you do none of us would be free to do what we do. You are all heros to me and my family. The hunter class is a great place to start, the advanced hunter class might be fine to its a new class and no one knows what to expect from it yet. But I think you would be fine in either class. The decision is up to you. The 2 most important things to learn in this game are shooting form and judging yardage. The best way to learn to repeat your form is to blank bail shoot (shoot in front of a target at 3 to 6 yards with your eyes closed) this willtrain your muscles to what they should like when you are in the correct position. The other thing you want to do is learn to judge yardage. I go to 3d ranges with only my range finder and work on judging. It takes a lot of work to be competative in whatever class you decide to shoot. But the great thing about this game is that everyone has to get behind the bow and shoot the same shot. It all comes down to a little bit of luck and and how muchtime a person wants to spend to practice. Whatever you decide you will meet some good people and be welcomed into the group.
