RE: How do you rate yourself?
Better than average hunter and I still spend the majority of my time trying to be a better hunter through scouting, reading, etc. Novice shooter. Always placed more emphasis on the hunting aspect than the shooting. Felt like if I could shoot out to 20yds, that is all I needed if my hunting skills were any good.
Changed that this year with the retiring of my old Oneida Eagle and purchase of a Legacy. Now with the help of folks on this forum, I'm focusing more on my shooting and equipment and have become a better shot. Plus after getting my best buck with a bow yet this past year, I'm really pumped for the coming season.
