I'm new to bow hunting too,I was told to shoot whatever feels comfortable.I went with the placement of my hand when i draw back....I place my thumb on the back of my neck,so i know i hit the same spot every time.I got a PSE in july and shot it EVERY night for about an hour and a half.I just wanna make shure my shot is on....i dont want to wound a deer...I want to eat it! hope what little i have helps...
