Congrats! You have to give it an honest chance to really take hold.. It will be frustrating at first, but you will improve 10 fold in the first month if you work on form, up close.... I'm going into my 3rd season and I shoot weekly year-round and I'm just now feeling really confident at taking a 20 yd shot in the woods... Sure, target shooting is not much to hit the kill at 20yds, but things change drastically when the adrenalin starts flowing and that deer looks as small as ant!

Good luck! For gloves, I really like the Skookum.. I believe 3 Rivers sells them for about $25...... It's not too thin and no too thick, just enough to protect the fingers......
