lmao...many others before you and i have asked the same question. you are just gonna have to get a bow and let us know in a couple years. it's different for everybody. some guys/gals its a life changer, for others not so much. for me, it was definitely a game changer. as far away from gun hunting as one could get. so grab a bow, practice for a couple years, and then get ya a hunt in and show us some pics already. i wouldnt wait til the start of bow season to give er a try. we will see if ya let as many walk down that trail without taking a shot with yer bow as ya did yer gun. gl
