You will love bowhunting, I did not start hunting until I was 42, I started with a bow and have decided to stick with a bow. I have been very lucky over the last 5 years and have taken 8 deer, still looking for that first buck though. I have even been able to get my wife and daughter intrested in bowhunting, and they enjoy it also. Just keep at it, and don't get frustrated along the way. you will love it.
