If you want to be a better bowhunter you need to know your equipment very well and you will if you practice enough and do as much of the hands on as you can imho.Once you feel comfortable and confident with your set-up you need to know your limits/effective killing range for YOU.Learn to judge yardage and or buy a rangefinder--you can't hit anything if you don't know the yardage!Hang out on these forums and soak up as much information as you can and although you can learn from other peoples stories and advice there is no substitute for HANDS ON EXPERIENCE.
