Congrats on your upcoming lessons. I'm sure they will benefit your archery skills. Noticed you've been shooting for 5 or 6 months, and it's great to have newbies taking up the bow. Don't wanna wet in your Wheaties, but remember that target shooting and hunting a critter are two very different situations. Deer duck, and canmove just when you release. Twigs at twilight can make for an all night tracking job, etc., etc... Proper form and practice can allow you to put 10 out of 10 arrows in a 9" pie plate at 50 yards, but when your heart's trying to jump out of your shirt andit's an alertdeer at 50 yards,he's about 30 yards out of range. That's what makes bow huntin such a blast. Gotta get em close.
