How much will the wife let you spend?
LOL
It's actually a little more unusual than that. I'm a priest and Benedictine monk. Hunting and fishing are two of my worldly diversions. Being a monk, I have to pay some attention to poverty, so I have to limit what I spend.
That being said you should look into going traditional. You've got plenty of time to get proficient before next season and a used recurve or longbow will set you back less since you don't need all the whiz-bang gizmos that go on it.
