Ever since then i've learned to turn my bow down light so that i can pull it back without any more movement than necessary. I hunted the next year with it set at 54 lbs. Make sure you shoot your bow fully dressed for hunting. It makes a big difference in drawing, and a facemask and gloves make shooting different.
Best advice I was ever given.... Practice in what ever you think you might wear bowhunting. Also use the laundry detergent for hunter it may not eliminate odor 100% (which I personally dont think it does) but it does not have UV brightners like most detergents.
