    Ok so I just got my first bow and am really excited. I'm 15. Any tips or anything on hunting, shooting, ecc? I got a 2016 Diamomd Infinte Edge.

    Congrats! Practice practice practice. Different distances, sitting/standing/ kneeling, etc. work on anchor points and consistency. And if you have absolutely no idea what you're doing, go take a lesson or two at a shop to get the basics figured out. Lastly, have fun!

    Congrats on the bow !!

    Practice a lot and also if you have any questions just ask on here or try YouTube searching for it.There are a ton of videos on YouTube on how to paper tune/proper form basically it's endless.
    FYI I'm 15 as well.

    If you know absolutely nothing then I would go to a archery shop and take a few lessons as JaminWI said.

    The best advice has already been given. Lessons, practice, ask questions, and have FUN. If you start getting frustrated with it, put it away for the day and pick it back up tomorrow. And congratulations, you just got into a very rewarding hobby.
