RE: Am I Too old?
i was 32 when i started...didn't even start huntin' with a gun until i was 24, almost 25.....the important thing is that you start and then make sure you are a safe and ethical hunter....good luck to you.

RE: Am I Too old?
True Story-I had a friend 50+ years old that wanted to start Target shooting a bow. He had an artificial leg above the knee, missing 2 middle fingers on his pulling hand. I helped him in how to stand & anchor with his hand-he wanted to shoot fingers.
One year later he won 1st place in the State Archery Target Division in his class.
You never get to old.

RE: Am I Too old?
This is my first year bowhunting. I'm 44 and I wish I'd started at 18. I made my first kill about 2 weeks ago. It was a hog and I will never forget it. I don't know that my guns will see much use in the future. Well, maybe my double smokepole shotgun, but I think I am now primarily a bowhunter.

I'm almost twice your age...35 years old here. I'm also new to bowhunting! My husband on the other hand, has been hunting since he was 10...can't let him have all the fun! You're never too old to learn something new....the day you stop learning is the day you die...
