When I first started getting serious about Bow Hunting I tried to learn as much as posssible about shooting better and improving myself.I did a lot of target practicing and went out shooting with a good friend of mine from work.He taught me more than anyone I had talked to before and we had a lot of fun going out shooting together and learning from each other.He helped me and took the time to boost my confidence and skills....when I shot my first Deer (a 6-point Buck) I drove over to his place to show him what I accomplished and he was as excited and proud of that Deer as I was and I thanked him for helping me out.It just don't get any better than that when you have a good close friend.

If your friend is not open to advice and learning from a good friend he has already lost the battle by not humbling himself and trying to improve his shooting ability.You can learn from someone younger or older than you,age doesn't make a difference and no matter how long you've been hunting you can always learn something to improve your skills or knowledge!
