yea once u get to learn your bow, start moving out to longer distances like 50+ yards. the more you shoot, focus on your formand make sure you are teaching yourself the right way to shoot. Head to the archery shop and ask one of the staff to watch you shoot for a little bit. they can normally point out and imperfections in your form. after that warm up with some 20 yards, then 30 then 40 then 50 even 60 if you want. If you can start to hit pretty constant at 50 yards, move back to 20 and see how well you shoot. At 50 yards u may not be in the hitting the 10 ring everytime but trust me when that deer walks by at 20 yards, u'll be right on
