Thanks, ADVWannabee.

I try not to make rash decisions and would rather be educated and informed when forming my decision. My instincts and emotions tell me to tell the hunters no. I'm a girl so I'm probably more sensitive than my audience here and you'll probably think I'm nuts to know that this decision is plaguing me and that I'm so stressed about it. My logical side is trying to approach this differently and to consider all angles of the scenario.

You have just reiterated to me what a family member hunter has informed me...which is that a bow is a lot more tricky to place accurately than a bullet. He said a twig or a gust of wind can get in the way of the best bow hunter out there and displace the arrow to cause the animal a slow death.

I appreciate your input. Thank you for your for being honest and open to my questions. Hopefully others will reply. I told the hunters I would let them know tomorrow.
