Don't forget to factor in the adrenalin that will be pumping thru your system when you see that first animal in your sights. That can make all kinds of practice go haywire!!

Exactly, my son, Robin Hood could place an arrow in the eye of a snake at 50 yards and then a 140 inch buck was standing broadside at 20 yards...first arrow went over top...noise from arrow behind the buck scared it in closer, second arrow at 10 yards ended his first archery buck hunt....yahoooo...
Shoot lots, myself 30 is my good to go limit, practice yardage estimating, that and knocking an arrow, drawing, picking a small area and releasing should all be second nature until then your just guessing and hoping...
Luv watching a guy bring up a rangefinder at a 15 yard critter....
Good luck!
