And also practice with your broadheads I know alot of guys who will shoot 1-2 shots with there broadheads and hit the woods not me I practice the month before the season with nothing but broadheads,alittle added cost but well worth it!

When the weather turned bad and it was hard to shoot outside because it got dark so early, I'd come home from work and shoot about 4 arrows in my basement with a bulky coat on. It was only about an 8 yard shot, but I think it made a big difference as far as being able to pull across my chest when drawing without running into all the bulk of my coat. I also learned to bend my elbow slightly so the string didn't hit it. Little things like that can really help.
