    Im happy for you....you will have a blast going out and enjoying the wildlife. Key is practice and patients...the key to success in bowhunting is practice and patients. Shoot true and be patient.. way for the perfect shot and you may not see deer first time out or 2nd and so on but that one time he walks by you gota be there for him. Cant get one if you arnt out there! =]

    I started Bowhunting when I was 14 and I am now 56. You won't be sorry you started this hobby.

    The bug usually bites very hard, and it is normally a fatal attraction!

    Welcome and Enjoy! :)
