Hi, New here, I do love elk hunting and go nearly every year.

I do like to practice long shooting in preparation for hunting. I feel that if I'm confidant at all ranges throught the bows ability I will be more calm and relaxed. What is long for you "is what it is" I find that practicing intermediate yardages are most benificial. (17, 23, 36, 53, unknown)

Ex. Set up some targets in the woods or go to a wooded range. walk along though the brush and when you see the target get set and shoot. judge the distance yourself and change it up! Shoot from your knees, around trees, through slots in the brush, etc. THAT type of shooting will help you make quality shots. Not just practicing to 75yards. (keep it safe though!)

If you want to bowhunt elk- get in shape, get in shape, get in shape, get in shape. I would rather be in great shape and only shoot 30 yards than be out of shape and shoot 200 yards!

Good Luck
