Shoot something first and then decide if you're capable of 30-40 or whatever shots. You aren't ready. Kill me a deer at less than 20 yards and have to watch him come in and plan your move and all that and you'll win. You'll learn a lot more about deer and how they act than you will worrying about shooting at 40 yards. What's my distance???? As far as my license is good... the state line.[8D]
