Find a club near you or a good shop... nothing like making some friends to help with the shooting skills and someone to practice with...  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Blackvelt, you're unethical.  I would only shoot at XX yards (pick a number) and you don't have the ability to shoot that far, so you shouldn't.  There, took care of that.

Now that I've unfairly blasted Blackvelt, the advice is actually really good.

Hey guys, I have always rifle hunted but after going to Montana this fall to call for my cousin who was bow hunting elk I am pretty sold on giving it a try. I am hoping to get a bow for christmas, if that doesnt happen I will be purchasing one shortly after the holidays are over. I am just looking for any kind of tips and advice, brand of bow, draw weight, arrows, different gear I might need, new strategies I might need to be aware of, etc.

So if you are willing to share anything I would love to hear it and I would really appreciate it. Oh and I will be able to set up a shooting area at my grandfathers house so Ill be able to get lots of practice.

Thanks!
If you want to come over sometime I'd be happy to spend some time with you on shooting form, shot routine, bow set up, etc.  I can get you going on elk vocalizations at the same time.  No charge or anything, just glad to help you get started right.
thanks a lot! i will definitely be in contact with you once i get my bow set up and ready to shoot! im going to start looking at different bows in the coming weeks and will be at the sportsmans show looking at stuff as well. i already have a range finder so that is at least 1 thing taken care of. haha.
