    I'm new to absolutely everything-- I've never even hunted before. We have land in which we allow a few acquaintances to hunt on, and I figured it's high time for me to give it a shot (haha, shot, see what I did there?). One of our hunters offered to take me out once I have myself all set up and ready, so I'm hoping to be ready by spring. I'm really confused about what bow to buy for my first time out, and am even debating buying a children's bow due to my stature. I look forward to making some hunter friends on here!

    You are going to need to learn how to harvest whatever you are hunting. Top to Bottom. I would get a bunch of information on the different bow MFG. out there to start with and then size yourself up, decide, and buy one. Start digging you will find out if you are Bowhunting material. Also practice a lot, learn about arrows for the bow you end up with, get safe arrows. That's all I got man....stick around...K.
