RE: how old were u

I was 15 when I received a new Bear Black Bear II compound bow. Before that I played with an old fiberglass so I chose 10-15. I'll be 40 in two weeks.

RE: how old were u

I've been shooting a bow since about the age of 10 but I didn't start bowhunting until I was 18. My dad never bowhunted but I know my gradfater did but he died before I was able to hunt. It was actually some college friends that got me started.

I've been shooting recurves since I was eight, but I didn't get into compounds until I was 15.

I took my first deer with abow my first season out at 16.

RE: how old were u

There weren't any deer around my neck of the woods in the 50's and 60's, so I grew up bowhunting for small game. I was about six when I first made meat (jackrabbit) with my bow. Killed a bunch of sparrows and rats around the chicken coop and barn before that tho...
