RE: when do you know
The King came out of the womb with a bow fashioned from a rib andhis ownumbilical cord. Before the hospital staffcould even get the afterbirth wiped off, helaunched a hypodermic needle out the window and assassinated a squirrel in the hospital courtyard.He was charged with Disorderly Conduct, andthe Illegal Taking ofa Squirrelfor that littletransgression.
Only a few short years later, heconquered Kid Icarus (without saving)and went on to become the world's Undisputed King of Archery.
this is why I love reading quiksilvers post

RE: when do you know
I knew from the passion I saw in my Dad's eyes when he went out in archery season. He didn't get that look about very many things at all. I wanted to see what it was all about. And once I grew enough to pull a hunting bow back and got to go, the rest was history.

RE: when do you know
I got a bow about 10 years ago but didn't use it to hunt until 2002 or so.....I realized I could hunt an extra month with a bow so I gave it a try....I missed my first shot at a nice 8 point at 20 yards! I was hooked from then on. I realized that I was so close but I missed anyways....hunting was a challenge again for me and I fell in love with bowhunting. After I shot my first buck at get this...1 yard and then proceeded to track that deer for over 7-8 hours over a two day period to finally recover him....well, I can't even explain the joy I received from analyzing where the arrow hit, why he ran and died where he did, and by looking at the good/bad parts of that hunt was so much fun....I haven't hunted with a gun in 3.5 years and don't plan to ever again unless I am that desperate for the meat.

RE: when do you know
I gun hunted for about 15 years and loved it. 4 years ago a buddy kept raving aboutbowhunting and insisted on taking meout just to try it.I finally agreed and found myself holding a bow 20 ft up a tree. The very first time a deer walked by me, (though I didn't even get a shot) I knew I was addicted to that feeling. I hardly ever take my guns out of their cases now.
