.... Practice, practice, practice, then practice more. Knowing your yardage is a must. If your not a good judge of distance, get a range finder. You don't have to go all fancy on one. I pick one up a couple years ago on e-bay for a little more than $100 and it works great. You will more than likely use up and loose a few arrows with lots of practice, thats to be expected. Then you need to know what your bow is capable of so you don't make questionable shots at deer. You need to know what yardages each pin will be good for. Bow hunting is a rush... Its more up close and personal with nature. You will make a bad shot on an animal, we all have. And you will be tracking it for hours, if not days, if you really want the animal bad enough. You owe it to the deer, to make sure its put down as quickly and humanly as possible. And best of all, have fun. Welcome again, This is a great site, with lots of great people
