back in it
 

ok, so i want to get back into bow hunting, i haven't done it in about 5 or 6 years and i want to again. i know in pa the season is over, and i am using my ML in our late season so i have to wait till next year now to bow hunt. but i figure its better to start now getting ready than waiting and putting it off so i don't go again next year ya know?

anyhow, i need some gear. i was gonna get a new bow but i think imma keep mine for now and just get new sights and rest for it, cuz mine are rusted a little. what do you guys reccommend, i have an old jennings now is that ok? if so what do you guys think about rests, i was looking at whisker biscuits? and sights, i want truglo, right now i have the metal pins. and are carbon arrows worth the extra money or are alluminum ok? anything else you guys could add would be great to know

The jennings will work fine don't shoot a new bow or you will NEED one. Go to a shop try some items out and decide what you like best. I hve local proshop that has a display almost all the broadheads available and lets you shoot hte ones your interested in so you can make an educated choice.

The most important thing when hunting with bow.. is CONFIDENCE in your bow. Take your Jennings into a Pro Shop and have it re-strung. Check out there sights, rests etc. and ask questions. Aluminum arrows kill deer and are less expensive. You don't NEED carbon, you could get them, but you don't NEED them.

I took out a friend this year hunting for the first time. He shoots an old Golden Eagle he bought years ago cheap. On November 11th he had a nice little 6 point walk within 30 yards of him. He didn't shoot, wasn't confident in his bow. He made the right choice not shooting, but his bow cost him a great start to his hunting career. Confidence in your bow and your setup is very important.

well i did shoot the tribute and i want it so bad but its too expensive. i'm gonna takemy jennings to a shop and see what they say, i haven't seen it in over a year so i'm sure its in pretty bad shape. i think if i have enough money saved up after xmas i'm gonna look into buying the tomkat or diamond rapture. they are in my range and seem like great boys.
