outstanding outstanding outstanding... this is what i was hoping for. all positive feed back. i read a post in the big game forum where a beginner has asked a question about elk hunting. the responses were all attitude and higher than thou mentality. i dont agree with that. its rediculous. so, i could imagine the thrill i would get bowhunting. just thinking about the idea and the challenge is a rush. what kind of money should i put into a bow and assuming i have on in hand by mid march, practicing 2x a week, would i be ready for the next season, as far as shooting skills are concerned?
