HOly crappola. To be starting all over again would indeed be something. My best advice is hunt up some people. Go find an archery shop and start with a bow, some arrows and a lot of help. Read these boards and practice. Any camo will do for now, that' s the least of your worries.

First off get yourself a bow. Then start making that to your own perfection by adding sights, peeps, silencers, limb savers, etc. Then get some arrows. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Then get yourself a treestand any that you personally like and are comfortable. Then practice out of that some more and then go get your camo.

knowing your range for arrow drop is also a key. There are many rangefinders on the market to help you practice judging yardage and we have a very low cost Rangefinder priced under $33.00 that will help. This rangefinder was designed for the individuals that either cant justify spending hundreds on a laser Rangefinder or just cant afford it. Stop by http://www.Outman.com to see these " NEW" Designed Rangefinders priced under $33.00.

You should buy a bow and you could buy a bow a cabelas.com. You could make your own treestand with wood and nails. When you get your bow you should pratice shooting it.;)

First, welcome to the board and the great U.S. of A!

Second, welcome to the sport of bowhunting!

My suggestion would be to keep it simple to begin with...don' t get too caught up in alot of the marketing hoopla that surrounds our sport. Keeping it simple...bow, arrow, rest, sights and I would suggest a release. There are many quality archery manufacturers out there that make entry level bows, do a little research on the web, find one that fits your budget and you are well on your way.

I would also strongly suggest that you seek out a " mentor" that can help you as you learn. Read any of the bowhunting magazines available...many offer great advice and will help it all make sense. Hang out around here and you will also learn a great deal from others experiences, mistakes and findings....don' t fear posting a question of your own! There are no such things as dumb questions and you will get some great answers!

Hope this helps you some....good luck!

I agree with almost everything you said except there are no dumb questions.A dumb question is one you don' t ask.[8D]


Seriously the advice is good.I would also suggest that after getting the gear.Find a local 3-d club and go and have fun.This will be a tremendous help to you when in the field.Most shops will be able to get you started in the right direction.Try to stay away from buying all your equipment from mail order.You will need all the personall attention that a local pro shop can provide.Mail order is ok after learning what you like and what your needs are but right now you need to stick with those that can help.


Down in Florida there are many great archers.They have all year to tune there skills and a 3-d shoot somewhere every weekend.Never get intimidated by the great shooters.Remember that they were beginners at one time also.
