    Hey whats up everyone. I just recently became interested in bow hunting. To be 100% honest i know absolutely nothing about it and thought this would be the best place to start. I'm a city boy and have been all my life, I've never even held a bow. Yesterday me and the wife found some fishing poles at a yard sale for dirt cheap, they needed line. We went into a Sportsmans Warehouse and the fishing line guys shop was right next to the bows. One glance over at a bow was all it took for me. So, with all that, i will have a lot of questions, probably quite a few stupid questions too lol. Please just bare with me as i dont know the lingo or anything about bows, hunting, or anything wilderness lol. I live in Portland, OR. so there's a lot of hunting spots fairly close to me. Thanks, cant wait to learn and see what this is all about!

    Welcome to the addiction.
    Ask away and you'll get lots of ideas.
    Try and find a good bow shop in your area and let them help you get started.
