It's all about family for me.

I'm self taught.

I got myself into it. My step dad introduced me to hunting, but to this day I've NEVER been deer hunting w/ him, let alone bow hunting. Everything I know is self taught, either by books and magazines or videos. I started just "hanging" out at the archery shop a few years ago and began learning quite a bit. Amazingly, I've learned a TON on this site, and 6 months ago began working at the shop. I am really beginning to learn alot, and fast. I just love it.

Someday, someday, I'm gonna open a shop of my own. I have some college credits I gotta get out of the way first...

I shot my friends bow about 4 years ago and I have been hooked ever since. First I was just shooting targets and such and had never been hunting. I am and always will be a hardcore fisherman at heart. It is my first passion. Well I got into bowhunting and am totally consumed by it. I'm just glad that hunting and fishing are different seasons.

My dad gun hunted and I guess that planted the seed.

I had a bow to mess with since I was a kid, but when it came time for hunting with one, it was just "go out and do it." Man have I learned a lot since then.

I was always hanging around with my uncles and they are the ones that got me into it! Now there ain't no turning back!!

I wanted a challenge and I like to tinker with things so I got into bow-hunting. It’s a challenge for me to have the patience to wait for the deer to get into the kill-zone and have the confidence to take the shot. I can practice in my back yard with my bow and not disturb the neighbors, they frown on me firing my smoke pole in the neighborhood, too much noise and there’s that safety thing. Plus I can tinker with different fletchings (blazers, feathers and so on), even shoot in my basement, try that with a gun.

And that is why my grandpa is be bomb diggity!!!

I clicked other because I'm self taught but that incorporates magazine, tv and friends.
