What he said. You need to have some shooting lanes. And definatly buy a range finder. I gota bushnell yard pro sport 450E-bay ( I love that place ) for A little over $100 brand new. Well worth it. You dont need the best one out there for bow hunting. As long as your shooting within 40 yards this one works great. Practice from your stand helps also, its differant the shooting on the ground but not much. I am able to to this in my own yard so im not in the woods spooking anything. GL.
