Hunting from a stand is tough with a long bow, make sure you have room to move and reposition yourself in the stand. Being a good shot with your bow is the easiest part of bow hunting. Byron Ferguson has some excellent books on traditional bowhunting. What is the brace height on your bow? 3D shoots are great practice and fun but many of them I've been to are geared more for the compound guys, some shots over 70 yards and many in the 30-40 yard range. The kill zone on a deer is about the size of a basketball. Find out what range you can consistantly hit a paper plate and consider that your max range, taking into consideration elevation and if it's a quartering to/away shot.
