Wow, I didn't know that! Sorry to hear that Girl. I tell you what, this bow hunting stuff is awesome and addictive!! Instead of launching lead or steel at an animal, your aiming an arrow and you see it all happen before your eye's! Its that damn good and exciting, the challenge is what its all about if its something you want to try! I took it a step farther and got rid of the compound and went out and purchased a recurve bow and I now hunt with that, I get more excited with my recurve then I ever thought was possible with a compound. After reading some of your previous post in threads I think you will be just fine picking up a bow and having fun with it and being efficient with it. It takes time, you just have to have the patience to follow through with it. Besides this world needs more lady's like yourself into bow hunting, this isn't just a guys sport like some think it is!! Good luck Girl!! Now get your but over here in the states and do some bow hunting!!

Example:

I have hunted and fished for as far back as I can remember (I'm 43). I started bowhunting in the fall of '05. I had more fun in the '06 season.....bowhunting whitetails....than I had in ALL the previous yrs of hunting and fishing, combined.

It's hard to explain......and once you do it.....no one will have to.

It looks fantastic, i've shot a recurve bow and it was alright but i really like the look of those compounds.

Do you reckon i should stick to a youth bow as my strength isn't like a man's so i'd like to use something thats more forgiving lol.

It sucks not being able to hunt using a bow here, i was over at my friends house last night and he has 4 shotguns and 3 rifles he's getting ready for deer season in April which will be exciting. Its not alot of hassle to get a firearm here but i think bows look more interesting.

Is Bowtech Diamond any good? (that one i had posted) Im thinking about buying it.

P.S Do any of you guys have any hunting pics using a bow?

I am sure we all have one or two around(pictures)

Show off! [8D] kidding

Seriously though, i think bowhunting is in a league of its own because its just so different.

For a beginner like me, is it hard to use a bow? esp a compound?

If theres any advice you guys could give me, it would greatly be appreciated.

Take care.

Sarah:

I am in the same boat as you being a small female hunter. This was my first year of hunting; even though I had a couple opportunities to get a deer with my bow, they didn't quite work out[X(]. My gun came through for me later in the season; and I will always be so proud of very first deer kill.

Even after only one season of hunting, I can see that bowhunting is much more difficult and challenging. I practice target shooting as much as I can, and my boyfriend and I have participated in some of the 3D shoots. (Which by theway are alot of fun.) I should be ready when the season rolls back around.

Even though we aren't as strong as the guys, we girls gotta stick together and show them we can do it!

Good luck....

Here here!

So I'm not the only one in that situation lol. I take it you have more success using a rifle than a bow?

I am seriously contemplating buying a bow package for hunting in MS in November.
