Yes I bought my wife a bow this year, and she loves to shoot. I am going to try to get her into hunting soon, but I dont know if she can shoot a deer or not, but Iam working on her. yeah my first day was messed up twice now. One because I areed to be a best man in a wedding which I found out that it was the first day of bowseason, and the other was when my girlfriend (now my wife) had a friend die in the family and the funeral was on the first day also. I didnt even know the person but I still went to the funeral. That was the hardest thing to do. A bit selfish of me I think. But now I am married to the woman of my dreams, and couldnt ask for anything more.
