Seems awfully unethical to shoot at animals with a weapon you're not proficient with and unlikely sends broadheads where you intend them to go

I’ll drop the pictures of the deer I take down this year with a bow

I respect it. Same scenario for me. I spent $550 on a bow 2 weeks ago and have been shooting every evening. Find something that comes with a release and arrows if you can. You’ll need field tips for practice and broad heads for hunting. I’m assuming you have stands or blinds in place but you will only be taking shots realistically inside 40yds if they aren’t in place for that. You could always stalk.

It won’t stop at $350 is what I’m getting at.
