It gets expensive for me too...Honestly I'm not an expert shot...I can hold my own but I'm consistent out to 50. And I'm usually lethal in the woods...If I was at a 3D shoot I would probably get walked on by most of you guys/girls........I would say I'm decent... but when I'm in the woods my shots are successful...I think it just comes from experience over the last 20 years when I started as just a little guy...
