what he said your never to old to get started!

RE: Am I Too old?
 

Absolutely not. One can never be too old to start hunting...and bowhunting at that. My dad didn't start hunting until he was 27!

RE: Am I Too old?
 

WHITETAIL STARTING AT 18 OR 38 IS FINE AS LONG AS YOUR IN THE WOODS ...REMEMBER ALSO THAT THE AMOUNT OF POUNDAGE YOU PULL WITH YOUR BOW IS NOT ONLY ACHIVED WITH BRUTE STRENGTH BUT ALSOTECHNIQUE ... AND ACCURACY IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN SPEED ..... KEEP THAT BOW AS QUITE AS YOU CAN BECAUSE THE SOUND WILL ALWAYS GET TO THE DEER FASTER THEN THE ARROW WILL ....GOOD LUCK AND WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!

Are you kidding me bud? I started at 15 but it took a long time to get my Dad into it. At about 55 he finally gave it a try. He is a bowhunting junkie now and hunts alot. He has killed three nice bucks with a bow and has had chances at several huge bucks and has passed on too many to count. We built an elevated platform to practice at deer targets from to simulate shooting from a treestand. He has 2 ladder stands and a summit viper. That has all been accomplished in 9 years of bowhunting. Go get 'em and never look back, except to relish the memories you will be making.

My first bow was 50 pounds and shot 170 fps. I had a pass thru on 4 of 5 deer i killed with that bow. the reason the first wasn't a pass thru was because some know it all at the archery shop told me to use expandables, which is the worst thingI could have picked. guess i can't rip on the guy too much because now he has his own hunting tv show.

RE: Am I Too old?
 

You are NEVER too old to start!I am still trying to get my dad into bowhunting and he's 62!

Good luck...post a pic of your first kill :D

RE: Am I Too old?
 

Oh, by the way: My first bow was 45 pounds, cost $85 new and I killed a 5 point on the first day I ever bowhunted with it. As I said...
GO get 'em!
