The people wolfen are talking about are the one's who do some thing stupid and irresposible THEN ask questions. To the guy who said targets don't help and shooting targets and deer are differnt. I know 2 other people who said that to me before and both start shooting their bow a week or so before hunting season each year and wound 2-3 deer a year. I am not saying you do this but obviosly you don't shoot 3-D targets much. I started shooting 3-D competions about 8 or 9 years ago and 3-D has made me a much better hunter it helps with shot placement it realy helps for judging distance and it has made me a better archer but it sure as heck hasn't hurt my hunting any. Speaking for myself I try not get upset with some one for asking but I do get pissed when someone who carelessly and aimlessly went into the woods with out a clue and did something stupid if any one doesn't like it too bad. It is that persons responsibility to ask,learn and practice BEFORE they get in the woods. I will also call someone on poor shot judgement. Wolfen I agree everone else if you are learning feel free to ask you may even e-mail me but if you don't put an effort to learn and you are neglegent I am going to say what I think of you and your actions.
