    Hey all!

    Great forum here, thought I'd go ahead and join in and introduce myself.
    My name's Josh. I am from Central Indiana, and have lived here my whole life.
    I am currently a college student. In my spare time I enjoy shooting guns, listening
    to music, and riding motorcycles.

    I am new to bowhunting, but not new to compound bows. A buddy of mine gave me his Bear
    compound a couple years ago when he got a new one, basically so I'd have something to shoot
    since they used my yard to target practice in, haha. It was alot of fun, but his girlfriend wanted
    to get into it, so he asked for it back, no big deal cause at the time I had too much going on
    to get into hunting anyways.

    Well now my mom has gone off and married an avid deer hunter, and infact took her first buck
    last year during shotgun season. My stepdad went out and got a crossbow about two weeks
    and it made me really start itchin' for a new bow.

    Now I have my own Bear Strike compound. It's got some cool bells and whistles on it, but isn't
    anything to fancy or high dollar. I really like it so far, and we are going later this week to get my
    sights zeroed in :D Can't wait!!

    Anyways...here my bow!

    Thanks guys! Thankfully the land my stepdad's family owns is alway swarming with deer. Normally there are 5 or 6 people out during shotgun seasons, but only me, him, and his brother for bow season. Should be plenty for the taking!
