My family was only a bird hunting family. Growing up I went quail, duck, goose pheasent and partridge hunting all over the place with my dad and grandfather and sometimes a german friend of my dad's. It was lots of fun but when I hit my teenage years my dad got a new job and grandpa had to quit hunting because of his vision so I stopped too. I moved out to Montana for a few years and started up out there with some rifle hunting and goose hunting and some upland hunting. Lots of fun until I moved back to Illinois and didn't have the urge to do it, to darn busy trying to get my business up and going and starting a family. Well, went out last year Dove hunting and this year goose and deer and about half way through my first day out deer hunting the shots all over the place bugged me and I decided that I would try Archery.

I used to shoot a lot as a kid (and just recently went home and grabbed my brothers old bow for kicks, might bowfish with it), more recurve back than than compound but the last bow I owned was a wheel bow so that is what I got. Was shooting a lot and was finally confident to go hunting from the ground with the bow (Not sure about the tree stand aim yet) and than I got the tendon problem. Oh well, it seems better now but I am thinking I will just use the 9 months before opening day to learn my property real well, scout the paths and get shooting consistan groups at 30 yards from a stand and from the ground. Than, I will probably sell the bow I have and spend way to much money on a new one. Had this bow for 3 weeks now and already found myself shopping for a new one... I think I have a problem
