Hello Aaron, Since you are a bow hunter, you got the hardest part licked, the ability to get close. I try to style my handgun hunting like bow hunting (within 50 yds.), but it's nice to be able to reach out and touch something out to 200 yds. (My personal limit)due to energy/accuracy loss, and that I grew up shooting silhouettes. (damn ram). Practice out in the same type of terrain that you would be hunting in. Set your targets at random distances (some half hidden by brush). Shoot 50 rounds like this, BUT take an hour or more to do it. Shoot one or two rounds, rest,walk, talk, repete.
