Last year while preparing for a hunt a co-worker of mineshow some interest in bow hunting. So last week he purchased his first bow. We have the luxury of being able to shoot at work, and I can not get him to take a break. He is hooked. He has been to the local pro shop shooting on his days off. He has even built a small ladder stand to practice from at work. I have not seen anyone with so much enthuasium about archery since I started 15 yrs. ago.

Thats awesome, hopefully you will have a new hunting buddy for the rest of your life. I love to see people become as crazy about archery and bowhunting as I am. At least I feel a little less weird when I'm in my backyard in full camo shooting 3d targets from a tree.[8D]

im wishing i had a tree to put my stand in in the yard

That definitely is great. Seeing someone like that tends to rekindle the fire in myself as well. The enthusiasm of getting involved in our sport is trully contagious.

Always good to see a new convert to bowhunting - once started its hard to get enough.
