Then I have to try and work on some ninja skills for the roar - any advice before I start carrying my bow into the bush?

I practice with bow set 15lbs heavier then what I hunt with, also practice shooting in different positions and holding the string for a minute or two before shot.
I only use fixed blades as clipped unseen twigs with mechanical before throwing off the shot. If you hunt more open bush then that might not be an issue for you. I shoot 125gr NAP thunderheads for a bit more FOC.
