Good advice & good reading... I esp. am fond of #10. I have always enjoyed hunting with my brother more than anyone else thus far. My dad gave up hunting before I was born & my grandpa died before I was old enough to have him teach me. My brother & I did however both learn to hunt with my dad's old 20ga, it's in my safe and most treasured firearm. My wife has expressed alot of interest in bow hunting with me, but has came up with reasons for her not to get a bow. After a very trying summer on her, yesterday I took her to the shop where I shoot & get most of my archery gear. She had looked at bows with me before but never "wanted one," even though I could see it in her eyes she did. After we looked at a couple, she was given a Hoyt Kobalt 40-50lb, she was able to draw it back and hold it. She smiled & I asked her if she liked it. She said yes and proceded to hand it back to Jeremiah. As he started to hang it back up, I told him to go ahead and keep it down. She looked at me with a puzzled smile. I returned the simle and told him that we'll be buying that one. I told my wife that this wasn't negotiable, lol. So Long story short, after a couple year wait (we've only been married a tick over two years) She will finally be able to go out in the woods with me bow hunting.... I'm very excited that she is excited about it, and that'll she be out there with me... I just hope she doesn't get a bigger buck than me! LOL
