RE: when to throw in the towel!?!?!
Bow huntingtakes a whole different level of commitment both mentaly,as in your mind set, and physicaly as in constant practice. When I decided to get back into bowhunting in 2000 I had no idea how much things had changed since the late 1970's when I stopped bow hunting. I picked up a Cabela's archery catolog and it blew my mind. Compoundbows, arrow rest, fancy sights, releases?All new to me.The point is I took the callange, studied, asked questions. I bought an inexpensive PSE,set it upmyself and tought myself to shoot all over. After a few months Iwas hooked,BIG TIMEand moved up to a high end bow and was shooting daily out to sixty yards in my back yard. I read every bowhunting magazine I could find and studied them. My first three years netted three bucks having passed onsome waiting for the perfect shot.I haven'trifle hunted since, although I may this year. The frustrations were many but the rewards so sweet. jquillin0001, based on your attitued in yourpost andyour response I'm not sure thatyou'reready for the commitment that is bowhunting.
