visit such places.

arrows, which you use for shooting, should be large enough to make an
uncontaminated kill. You need a great practice for developing skill of

You should wear same device during practice session for shooting, which
you are going to wear during hunting of elk. There is great difference
between shooting a bow in a simple t shirt and shooting a bow while you
are wrapped in heavy coats and disguise. The difference between this is
same as difference between a successful shot and an unsuccessful shot.
