RE: New to Bow hunting...
Visiting your local Pro-Shop would be a good idea......usually there will be plentyof helpful hunters will to give you their suggestions and tips. The Pro-Shop should be a help.....they want you as a future customer. The guy who offered to help you sounds like just the ticket...ask lots of questions and read all the posts here....you'll learn a ton here!
Good Luck.....its a blast!
