    Well as I am new to the forum and have seen a few other people post introductions, I figured I would as well. I'm a 23 yr old SSG in the US Army, currently deployed to Afghanistan. I've been a 68W (combat medic) for 5 years.

    When I was 13 or so I got an fiberglass recurve bow and began practicing. A while later I bought an old Bear compound bow from a pawn shop and shot the hell out of it. After a few years other things pushed my archery hobby to the side, but I picked up a bow 2 years ago and started in again.

    This past season was the first time I have actually hunted with a bow, and I'm hooked. I plan on getting new tackle once I get back in the states, and hitting the woods every chance I get.

    I appreciate all the good info on here, and you guys seem like a pretty good group. I hope to learn a lot from my reading here and share my experiences as well.
