Well with the regulations being changed in NY I can shutgun hunt this year. It was known in my house when I turned 16, the old age to shutgun hunt, I would get a shutgun. Well its my 15th birthday in a week and my parents rather get me a new bow for some 3-D shooting. The bow I have is fine and I was planning on buying a new one with my own money after this season. I really want a shutgun, but I also wouldnt mind a new bow. My dad does not hunt but we have a nice gun collection, everything from AK-47s to O/U, to old WWII guns. The only gun we can use for shutgun deer is a crappy Mossberg 500, I dont know what to do. MY bow needs about 85 bucks worth of work, string, sights, rest, quiver.
