That can't be stated enough.... The first year I got my bow (tail end of the summer - a few summers ago), I didn't even hunt with it. I wasn't that confident to take it into the woods, and would probably end up hurting myself! [&:][:-]

I read books, watched videos, and learned the basics with a buddy in a big backyard with haybales and a cheap target. I watched him shoot and stood behind him watching his form, and figured it out with his help.

One simple word that can't be stressed enough.....

PRACTICE!!!!
