While it is true that you always have the option not to let the arrow fly, my biggest concern is the imperfect shot when it comes time to let one go. I guess I will find out in the moment whether or not I am willing to take that chance.
Good move by going to a good archery shop. This is only my second year bow hunting and I'm hooked. A good shop will definetly be the right move. There's so much that I didn't know that i would've been in trouble if I'd just found a bow and bought it. The main reason that I got into bow hunting was challege. I don't regret it. Hopefully if you decide to take it up, it will be a life changing experience for you just like it was for me. Good luck and have a great season.
