    Hi! Finally bought my Compound Bow on Monday. So addicted to it already. Looking to get into hunting with it, so any advice or tips will be greatly appreciated :] I'm in Will County if anyone can point me towards some where that can help a girl out would be awesome. (I know of Joliet Archery in New Lenox, not sure if I can afford that fee yet after buying my bow.) Thanks!

    Practice practice practice. Once you get confidence of your shooting ability then you can be much morr successful hunting. Practice with hunting gear and from whatever you will hunt from. Blind/ treestand. Watch our webshow to learn on tactics and proper shooting form. And have fun with it.

    Look up glisson archery it's a great place to practice. There is an indoor and outdoor range and it only cost around 5 bucks. And sonny glisson(the owner) is a great guy. It was the first shop I went to after buying my first bow. Sonny helped me tune the bow, gave me a lesson, and let me shoot until I got tired. I asked him what I owed him and he wouldn't take any money from me (I dropped a thank you card with some cash in it for him after he closed that night).

    Welcome
    You can also check out Strictly Archery in Shorewood. They have a 40yard indoor range. Scott(the owner) and Bruce are great guys.
    There is an outdoor 3d range by me in Seneca, however, I havent had a chance to actually check it out. It's at the Seneca Hunt Club. Just east of town.
