I see some very good info for you to digest. I can only add to it by saying that shooting at pie plates and animals are two different things. You can't compute your accuracy level at 50 yards by using your averages at 20 yards. YOu just have to get out and shoot and see what you can achieve. There are so many things that enter into the equation and your accuracy level is just one of them; about the only one you can control.

Animals can and do move. Shot angles can be different (broadside, quartering to or away, shooting from elevated positions). Can you say with certainty just what the distance is? These are a couple things that make bowhunting the challenge it is.

Something I would like to address is all the TV videos you may watch. Have you ever noticed that in many the shooter will grunt or bleat to get a slow moving animal to stop? This might seem nice, but it's for TV. Yes, by bleating or such you often get the animal to stop, but what you've also done is put the animal on alert, something that you don't need to do most of the time. Also there's always the editing factor. I do video and know that you can edit out anything you don't want seen, like the misses or poor shots. So, although entertaining, don't put too much stock on what you see the "PROS" do. They're in it for the money.

If you haven't done so do some looking around or ask at a nearby shop. There almost has to be a local club around somewhere where you can go shoot, meet other people, get help, ask questions and make some new buddies. Get some honest to goodness real world practice and see just what your capabilities are, especially if you can get into some local 3D shooting. It all helps. Builds your confidence for those 10 to 25 yard shots at real animals. Confidence is the name of the game and good form and practice, learning your own limitations builds confidence.

Good luck.
