Well I would not say I am a total newbie to archery. I have been doing it for a few years, rather unsuccessfully. I had not put very much effort into becoming a good hunter and archer due to my motorcycle "habit" in the past, but I am getting out of motorcycles. My love for the woods has overtaken that habit now, and my full focus is on becoming a good hunter, archer and outdoorsman. I was on ArcheryTalk, but man that site is just nuts. It seemed to be more about selling things, politics, and religion. I like this forum much better, it is more focused on bowhunting and archery. I look forward to interacting with you all. Take care!
