    Hey guys, wanted to say hi, and thanks for having me here. I am 29 yrs old and just getting into the hunting scene, but bow hunting is my method of choice. If anyone can offer any tips on gear, and methods for scent covering and stealth, I would be very appreciative. Thanks again guys :)

    First off welcome to the sight
    There are several good brands out there to use. For mr the only brand I will ever use is hoyt. But there are matthews bear bowtec dimond ross parker pse mission ect they all have good bows so you will just have to look around and shoot as many as you can get your hands on. For sent control you have sent away sent lock ded down wind cod blue ect. They are all good for me I use dead down wind. For stealth there's nothing I can really tell you other than walk slow watch where your putting your feet and be careful not to rub up on anything that could break off as you pass buy. Good luck on the up coming season.
    Shoot straight

    I encourage you to talk to some serious bow hunters that live around you to find a great place to buy and service your new bow. It's harder than you think to find a place that really knows what they are doing. They can give you insight on the ins and outs of bows, arrows, accessories, as well as proper form and technique. Where are you from? I am sure someone can suggest a bow shop in your area.
