This is my 6th season with the bow. I've been gun hunting since age 17, so this is my 12th season with the gun. I only gun hunt because it's time that I get to spend with my family and it's always a lot of fun. I gun hunt with my dad, brother, brother in law and this year my 12 year old nephew. I haven't shot a buck with my bow yet(have let a ton of little ones go), but have shot 5 doe with it.
