At present time in game, you can buy a shooting mat and get in your practice without buying 6500 tracers. I was not so fortunate several years ago when I started. I have sent you a PM with some further instruction if you want to try for some distance shooting with your bow. Just remember you have to walk before you can run. Start at close range and work your way up. GL

The theory remains the same. When shooting arrows it helps to have another person at the bottom with the animal. That person can lure the animal to a certain place over and over, but also give instructions and information to the top of the mountain where the arrows land. Arrows have an advantage over bullets that they can be lobbed down in an arc, allowing for longer shots in certain areas such as the one for this bison. Rifle shots need a straight line which causes some limitations.

INTIMID883R and HooCairs,
thanks to both of you for your interesting explanations.
I don't think I will ever have the patience and diligence needed for such noticeable results... even if I'm Training, after all. ;)
So this increases my admiration for what a commitment like yours can achieve! My compliments.

I have my game options set at all max and I don’t seem to be able to see animals longer out than about 310 meters? How do you even see 600 meters?
