I'd still go with your father ,this time with him will be special for him as well as you,I still rifle hunt for a couple day's with my friend's ,but I to would much sooner hunt with my bow .
These time's with dad are ever lasting memories ,and your just beginning to find yourself .And that's why you prefer the bow .But you only have one dad and that's the most important thing for you to remember,maybe dad won't mind if you use your bow ,if you have some appropriate stand's for it, but regardless never forget who introduced you to hunting ,I'm sure your dad would just appreciate it that your there, and not what choice of weapon you choose.
