    Hey guys, I'm 22 and relatively new to archery and for that reason, am new to bow-hunting. I've loved shooting since I was a kid, but without a proper bow and arrow set to my needs...I left the sport and pursued firearm shooting. It was just this fall, right before winter I came across a bow my fiance had that fit me like a glove (we're both just under the 5'5'' range :D) She gladly sold it to me for a nice fee. Since then I've shot a handful of times and can't wait to get it properly set up so I can get serious and shoot. I may not be an expert or a seasoned vet at archery, but I have a rekindled love and desire to pursue the art and tradition of archery I had many years ago. Hope you all can give me some tips and advice and hand down some knowledge to me :P

    Welcome to the site and back to the sport! Love WV try to make it out to some property that I have just outside Wheeling whenever I get a chance. To bad that only happens once every other year or so!
