You have to watch how much you shoot - especially when you start out.

100 arrows is a lot of arrows in one session, especially for a beginner. 20 good arrows is really all you need. Or at least space the 100 out throughout the day.

As you build your callous the first few shots will always burn a bit..especially if you shot the day before.

I'm not sure how good tingling is.

I used to get that when i first started.  Switched to a big shot glove and it disappeared.  Not sure how much was the glove and how much was being a noob, but everything changed for the better with the big shot.
