I'm also a "new guy". I bought my Diamond Rapture last spring and shot a lot over the summer, hitting my target most of the time. A buddy of mine suggested that I should get up in a tree to make sure I was comfortable shooting from the stand. He was right, it was a lot different than shooting from the ground. My first few shots were low, not because the bow was not sighted but because I was not comfortable in the stand. After a few sessions in the tree my shots improved a lot, without changing the sites. I would suggest the same to you. Good luck and happy hunting!!!

Sight in from the ground
makes the practice more practical!!

I'm only in my second year of bow hunting, but made one good observation;
- Cheap aluminum arrows, big difference from the stand to the ground.
- Quality carbon arrows, very little difference from the stand to the ground.

It is easy to get on my roof, so I practice from there.
Good Luck,
KP

P.S. Do yourself, your quarry, hunting and hunters reputation a favor. Practice until you're confident before you go hunting. Createa challenging test for yourself and make sure you're able to pass it.
