Just remember....you biggest competitor is  yourself. All  you can do is your best on any given day and there is always going to be someone who is going to do better than you. For me, being competitive now means knowing when I have done my best. i don't even turn in score cards anymore.

I have a friend who used to say, "When you get to the point that you think you have traditional archery COMPLETELY figured out... just shoot one more arrow!"

Confidence is great, but humility is always lurking just around the corner...

Traditional bowhunting is often a game of seconds... and inches!

I say confident. I KNOW every time I release an arrow I WILL hit my animal or target.  Sometimes it turns out I was wrong, but before I shot I knew it was in the bag. Without confidence this game is lost.  Bit with that said, you should also know your weak points and what you can improve on.
