    My 12 year old got me interested in bow hunting and we just purchased our first bows last Wednesday. I thought I'd join the forum and learn, learn and learn.

    Welcome, there is a lot of information to be had on this site. I just recently got back into the sport after about 2 years off from it.
    Good luck

    Please go back to the top and read back down. Every time you see the word addiction, multiply it by a factor of 10. I just started here last August or so and I'm completely hooked. It is hugely addicting and you'll find it's a lot like a bag of lays, you cant stop with just one (shot).

    But seriously. It's a great sport, lots of fun, and would make for some great father / son time, my twin little girls are only 2, but they still like to help me get the arrows out of the target.
    If you have any questions, this board is full of some very knowledgeable people. There is another board archerytalk(.com), it's really good for searching an issue, but in my opinion i like this site much better. It's a smaller group of guys and you get a more intimate answer.
