    Welcome to the addiction! Like everyone else says: PRACTICE! Practice at further distance than you would shoot while hunting. Makes the hunting shots feel easier.

    Thanks guys!! a local shop out here had a deal to get that faktor $200 off! so I got that, a ripcord arrow rest, trophy ridge stabilizer, and a fuse pilot g series 5 pin sight. My arrow release is middle of the road, and i intend to upgrade it eventually. I want to practice shooting my bow from all different angles and distances, none greater than 50 yards so that i can be accurate. I want to be one with my bow and not fight it when im hunting.
