Default RE: Help me out with something, BOW HUNTING!

ORIGINAL: baker0821

Hey, I have a couple of questions. I want to get into bow hunting, having not shot a bow since I was in Boy Scouts,
LOL, 15 years ago I was an archery merit badge instructor at a boy scout summer camp. It wasn't Camp Thunder was it? In my opinion, comfort is the most important thing for a beginner picking his first bow. Does it feel "good" when you pick it up and shoot it? Is the draw length comfortable? These are probably the most important things for finding a bow that you really like and will be comfortable hunting with. When you find a bow that you like, have it tuned with the broadheads that you want to shoot and practice with it. Practice with your set up is the secret to success.

Preparation+opportunity= success

(And don't forget proper "follow through" when you shoot!)
