Get at least another 6 arrows and six broad heads. Use one set of Broad heads for practice and keep 3 in the package till opening morning. Get comfortable with your anchor point. and practice holding and shooting. A blind bale exorcise will get you used to the release and able to break it easily.

If you are going to sit a stand I recommend the following.

Get some flagging or surveyor tape in the same color as your pins.

Range several different objects at different yardages and mark them with the appropriate color tape. If your 20 pin is red mark a bunch of tree's rocks what ever at 20 yards with the red tape. Be sure to mark all the entry points the game is likely to come in on.

Oh my last bit of advise is to avoid the blazer vanes until you understand how to set up and kinda tune your bow. The blazers have lots of problems with clearing cables rests and every thing else on your bow. Use a regular 4" duravane or similar vane. Once you get used to setting up your bow and making things work then play with those worthless pieces of crap. No I don't like them I like good old fashioned feathers.
