Default Bowhunting Viking

Hi, I`m a guy from Sweden who wants to start hunting with a bow insteadof a rifle.
The problem is that bowhunting aint allowed in Sweden yet and that puts me in a bad seat when I try to find someone qualified to teach me about gear,bows,technics. Would be thankful for everybit of information possible.
TheWarmest Thanks, Joel

If the bow fits you and is comfortable and you can get it at 1/2 off, then yes it is a good deal....Like wallghangr said there are a lot of guy here who know their business and are always willing to give input...Hang around, read all you can and ask what you want to know.....Welcome to the forums!!!!

Welcome to the forums and i know there are so many on here that will give you some really great advice just like they have given me. For a first bow it sounds like a great starting point for you and hey the price sure is good.

Chucky, what kinds of animals will you be hunting? What kind of land will you be hunting? Are the game animals spooky or are they comfortable where you hunt? Do you plan on hunting from the ground or in a tree?

Welcome Chucky!
