I too would say 2-3 months if everything was done correctly but again everyone is different, I have a buddy that I got into archery and within 6 weeks he was shooting great but when we put the stalk on hogs he kept missing and I don't mean a little either.. The second day of chasing them hogshe finally stuck one and made a killer shot, the rest of that week he put 4 more hogs down and made awesome shots on all of them. Then we have my father in law that got me started back in the 90's, to this day he still has trouble sometimes....Each individual is going to be a little different!!!!
