ok first off where are you from? If it is close enough I would take a day and drive and help you set up the bow properly and get your shooting form set up properly. I hate to sound like a broken record but you need your rig set up for you and shown the proper way to anchor, aim and release. Yes bowhunting been around for hundreds of yrs but you can't just pick up a old bow and expect to be good enough to kill a deer eithicly in a couple months. With properly tune and set up equiment of todays standerds yes you can be a fairly good shooter in well under a month but thats only with proper setup.
