    I am looking for a little direction when it comes to finding the right bow for me. My boyfriend says if I want to bow hunt with him I need to find a way to get the right bow for myself. I have no clue where to start. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks

    Yes go to your local pro shop and tell them you want to get into archery. They should be more then happy to let you try a few bows. Then determine your budget and shoot a few bows in your price range. No one bow is right for everyone. After you shoot a few you will get a feel for which ones you like and dont. And when you find that right one you will know it!!! Good luck let us know how it goes!

    Welcome to the site! Ferg's post is right on. Find a local proshop and get you hands on a few bows.
