Dhaygood asks- Any other advice ya'll have would be apperciated.
Use a WORKING rope cocker and learn to cock it using that. Develope a routine for cocking and loading the bow that ensures safety and consistancy. Just prior to shooting it, say to yourself- THUMB. Keep that thumb below the flight rail or the string will hurt you. Follow through is important, try to hold on target until the arrow strikes. Practice at being consistant. Do the same thing everytime, and soon you will be splitting arrows with arrows.
Research old posts for key information. Most everything that will benefit you has already been discussed. Some key items of interest- understanding brace height and how it affects performance, string composition and maintenance, scopes, different arrow weights and FOC, and then finally broadheads.
Practice alot and good luck with your bow.
