I try to shoot daily starting in mid June.

When I shot a recurve more often. I have a dog that would go stump shooting and bring back the arrow after I shot it.

The compound not much stump shooting due to carbon arrows.

The crossbow even less.......as in hardly ever.

70 yards........I usually practice at 40 to 50. 50 yards deer, 60 yards ELK. It better be a nessacary deal to shoot 50 at a whitetail, they are skittish.

Mostly outdoors I shoot.

Targiet panic with the recurve, range estimation, pin selection in the compound, the trigger and rest with the crossbow are my biggest challenges.

Anatomy is very important, I don't feel that versed in shooting bear, never done it. I guess turkeys can be hard also.
