Hey, I am a 17 year old guy in New Jersey. I am a total rook at hunting in general. Ive shot compound bows, and I want to go bow hunting. Heres the kicker. No one in my family hunts, and no one i know hunts. I have no equipment whatsoever.Pretty much, im starting from scratch. But ive dreamed of hunting ever since i was a kid. My family says they MIGHT let me go alone. But its a big MIGHT. Im a very responsible guy. But i have no idea how i start before i go out and hunt. And REALLY would like to go hunting as soon as possible. what do i do? ps. for a possible christmas/birthday present. My family said they would think about getting me my own equipment (bow, gear, etc.) but because it is so darn expensive. They want me to try it first and see if ill even like it. which is completely understandable.
Welcome. Kind of hard to try and see if u like unless u know someone that will set up a bow for u and let u borrow it. Otherwise ur kinda stuck between a rock and hard place. U won't like it either if the bow u try out isn't set up for u. Proper draw length and weight etc... Also ur gonna need to get a good bit of practice in and shooting good before u hit the woods. Either save and buy ur own starter bow or hope they decide to get one for u anyway. Good luck.
