If you want to hunt with the bow, then check out the Edmonton Area Bow Zone. Outfitters in this area cater to bowhunting only and know what is required. Frankly most outfitters elsewhere cater to the gun hunter's and their set ups and timing issues may not be the best choice for a bowhunter. Like you said either way your laying out the same money and if it were me in your position I would want to hunt with outfitter who knew how to setup for that purpose not try and adapt a gun stand to my weapon of choice. Not saying it can't be done though!

What ever you decide make a short list and do your homework to ensure you'll be happy with your choice.

Best of luck!
