The lodge in the east of Readfeather falls has a specialised interactive bow shooting stand. Many dummies there, you get precise feedback in text about what organs you hit. However, although I have the new sight for the Python, I avoid bow shots beyond 20m, even prefer less than 15m. Just hitting, is not enough, I hate long searches afterwards. And in reality, you would not let the animal suffer that long, too.

Consider to buy one smallest amount of light arrows. Ammo you use on the shooting stands, does not get depleted, never, no matter which stand you use (just make sure you always stay on the stand, not on the range between stand and target, for example!) . It makes the arrows you shoot on targets more visible to you once they hit, you can immediately see where you hit, even at great distance, without needing binoculars. Do not use these special arrows for hunting, there they would get consumed - and must be bought new.

Most multiplayers play in teams anyway, I think. We should try that, right now we do play two or three single player session taking place on one map only, I think that's not the point of it. Mutual support in spotting, or during pheasant hunting or getting two bucks close to each other, sounds more like it. You now have a rifle, a shotgun and a bow. You are equipped for any hunt now - while my hunter mate gives much more tracking info already (in some categories I am level 10), and I have LRF info for bow and air rifle hunting. You could also benefit from those of my my callers that you still do not have.

Hunting turkey by bow in Whiteheart island, what you think? I have a ground blind left, it works great for turkeys, foxes, coyotes.
