Well I first picked up a long bow in theearly 70's (1973 I think)but I really didn't start hunting with a bow till later. Unless you count squirrles, rabbits and other little creatures that I hunted when I was a kid.....don't think I ever killed one though.

I really started to hunt with a bow in college (Mid 80's) so it's been a little over 20 years ago for me. I still have a lot to learn....for sure.
