WThunter, I got my first bowkill with a Bear Black Bear, this past season, it is now retired, I bought a new Browning Ambush. My old bow is over 20 years old and it still shoots great, if I was you I would take it to a proshop and have it checked out and fitted to you. You will need to have the draw length set correctly for you. Can you hunt with it? You sure can, I will warn you though, once you get that first bowkill, you will be hooked like I am and have to buy a better/newer/faster bow. The new ones shoot so much faster and easier than the old ones that you will be amazed, it will almost feel like you are cheating.
