Well let's see, you are in the bowhunting forum, so, umm, I would say....
Sorry I will quit messing with you. There are lots of personal variables that you need to answer. Have you ever shot a bow or gun? Do you have someone to hunt with to show you the ropes? What are you going to hunt? How much challenge do you want? If it is deer, and you want some challenge, I would say go with a good compound bow rather than a gun. Shooting a compound is more challenging than a gun, but not nearly as difficult as trying to master a longbow or recurve. It is a nice compromise on the challenge curve.
