Default Took the leap....

Okay, so I took the leap yesterday and bought a compound bow. Got a really nice deal on a fully loaded 06 Hoyt Trykon XL (whisker bisquit, quiver, arrows, silencers - a bunch, single pin Tru-Glo site, Tru-Ball release, a few arm guards, stabilizer, cloth carrying case and probably a few things on there that I have no clue what they are). It's set to 62 lbs. and has a 29" draw (my draw length).

Being new to the sport, I was able to get 3" groups at about 15 yards - still feeling my way around the bow and still learning the art of archery. Trust me when I tell you that my forearm is still sore from poor technique - I've been instructed since last night to hold the bow differently.

So, what pointers would you all be so kind to give to this newly cristened (bruised - lol) bow hunter? I have full intentions of practice, practice, practice.

Thanks for all input.
