I would say, get with someone you know that is a bow hunter or go to a pro shop and get information. Bow hunting is not rocket science, more common sense and good hunting tactics.  :D

Bow hunting is great.  There is nothing like getting a deer 'the old fashioned way' (if you could call it that).  Ive been at it for 15 years,  and every deer Ive taken is a trophy, no matter how big or small.

It is also the most frustrating thing a person can do to him/herself.  Be very patient, as things will ALWAYS go wrong if they have a chance to do go anywhere.  

I learned by reading and asking allot at the local pro shop.  Go for the most stable platform you can find.  Locally available  big name products, can be fixed and tuned locally.

Goto a shop and shoot some bows to see what you find comfortable to shoot.

Good luck,

Yep, go talk to the person at the local pro shop.

Bow hunting is a challenge, that is what makes it so much fun. Anyone can shoot a deer with a rifle or shotgun ... although I have been known to miss  :roll: ... just got to love that deer fever ...

I missed one last night with my bow at 25 yards. Not the first time and definitely wont be the last  :lol:

I would have kicked myself but for the fact I was 25 feet up a tree and feared dangling by my safety harness. My hunting buddy would have let me dangle until he took a picture to make a glossy 8 by 10 for posterity  :lol:
