I re-read you original post. In that post you stated: " if I really want to become a champion material...". I'm not exactly sure what "champion material" is, and I'll bet the definition will be different for different folks.
I have been shooting stick bows for about 20yrs now, and at the current time, am shooting probably the best I ever have. I know in my heart, though, that I am not as good as I can be, and I strive every day to get a little bit better than I was the day before!
Also, I shoot a bow because I love to bowhunt. 3D just happens to be a really fun game that I can play with my bow, see lots of my friends, and make a bunch of new friends!
