Default How old is too old?

I have a question for you all....I am 18 years old and have been bowhunting since 2003, or when i was 16. My question pertains to my Father though, he will be 59 in march, and when i asked him about bowhunting, he simply said he was too old to do that, but what do you all think?

He is in pretty good physical condition, a bigger guy going around 260 or so, but he has his share of lower back problems and recently injured his shoulder lifting heavy objects, but i think that's subsided, do you think he is too old? or would it be worth it to try and get him into Bowhunting?

Thanks for you input.

P.S. the other day he stood 60 yards behind me as i arrowed my first bow-deer, and he simply said it was amazing the sound and what not (thud!)...thanks again.
