I got my father into Archery last year. He' s 63 and had never done anything but gun hunt. He got deer in bow range a couple times but one thing or another caused him not to get a shot.

When the season was over, he said after 4 decades of hunting whitetails, he never had had more fun and learned so much. [:-]

I myself have only been hunting with a bow for 3 years. Was fortunate enough to harvest a deer my second year in the early Sept DE heat. Damn thing nearly walked into me. Had to draw in self defense.

I still gun hunt, but there' s nothing like Bow hunting. Cant wait until next season!
