RE: Should I start bow hunting?
Nitro- You asked. I have never said I was the best. I am far from it. I will not be drawn into a peeing contest with you.
However, the bowhunting world is now wrought with slobs and I believe a lot of that comes from not taking the archery side seriously. I can forgive misses, I can even forgive lost animals. However, I hate hearing about these things from guys that just pick up a bow to get an extra season, but don't put in the time to become a good archer.
I would recommend that ANYONE start shooting archery. It is a life altering sport to me. There is a magic to shooting an arrow that very few sports can match. I could care less if you shoot traditional or compound, the magic for me is the same.
If you are not considering spending time at being an archer, then I suggest that you keep shooting your cross bow. I actually see nothing wrong with that.
