    Hey all, I want to get my bowhunter boyfriend a nice Christmas present he'll love, however I know absolutely nothing about bowhunting so I thought I'd seek out your help... I don't know what type of bow he has but he bought it about 4 months ago so I know he doesn't have much to go along with it other than broadhead arrows I think. I've talked to a few people and they've suggested things like a camo jacket (he doesn't have one), more broadhead arrows, and a sight.

    The maximum I'm willing to spend is $200 and I want to get him a couple different things. Do any of you have any suggestions of specific products I should look into getting? I am clueless when it comes to all of this so any help would be much appreciated, thank you so much!

    You could even just give him something saying you would take him to say gander mountain and let him pick out something he wants. Because i tell people to just get me gift cards since I'm pretty picky in the things i want or need i bet others feel the same well about this. Good luck with what ever you do. :tu:

    Tell him how much time you spent looking for things, but in the end decided a gift card to Cabelas was the way to go so he could get exactly what he wanted!

    Personally I would rather get gift cards than have someone else buy my hunting equipment for me. This is very specialized stuff and not a one size fit all deal.

    I would throw my vote in for that as well! Maybe a gift certificate to get something for his bow AND you wearing the lingerie would be perfect :)

    If you do get him something besides a gift card make sure it is a pretty universal gift. That means stay away from arrows, broadheads and sights as those are things that he would need to pick out.

    Some universal bowhunting gifts where you couldnt go wrong would be a safety harness, hang-on treestand, ladder tree stand, scent items, target or trail camera. Good luck!

    I would definately go with the gift card. That's what I always tell my family when they buy for me.
