Default newbie question

Hello Everyone,
I am trying to learn how to aim and shoot with arrow. I have a 45lb compound bow. I want to know is there a trajectory table that I can use to take upto 50 yards shots.

I want to first practice in my garage which is only 23 feet in length. Once I am good at it than I want to hunt small and big game next year. May go shoot some rabbits in xmas break.

Thanks
Rosh

Tragectory table ..... Not really every ow is different depending on draw length, draw weight, bow design, weight of arrow ect.
Do you have a sight?

With sights you will need 5 pins or 4 pins to 50.
a simple way of doing it is sight in your 20 yard pin [1st] than [2nd] which is thirty...than measure that distance between the two pins...and set all the other pins adding a 1/16 between each pin ...

you will be close and simply fine tune...
