If your going to bow hunt the bottom line is you need to practice. There's to many things to go wrong on a bow and arrow not to practice here and there. If you don't want to put the time in then buy a crossbow, make sure there legal in your state before you buy one. The guys tell me there pretty easy to figure out.

i have the same problem with practicing but i do not have anyplace close to do it

i would go with a bow but a crossbow will give you higher poundage and easy to hold and aim how often can you practice
