Default RE: Just starting

Shoot almost every day! Some times shoot at your local Pro-shop, while there just simply ask some of the other shooter "Got any tips for a new bowhunter?" There won't be a person there who won't give you a few suggestions, and then ask a few questions. Reading this forum sure doesn't hurt either.

I gotta say this also........Practice Practice and then Practice some more! Practice from the elavation your stand will be, and with your full clothing you'll be wearing, even in the cold season! Know your range limit and then follow it! Remember shooting 30 yards at a dot on the range, and shooting at a live deer in the woods in low light is very very differant! Practice shooting at the last 5 minutes of legal shooting time. Personally.....I think the reason most new people miss their first few deer are shooting to far and mis-judging distance. (misjudging distance is huge, you have to be right!)

Good Luck!
