Definatly !!! Do it , practice often , get to know your equipment , shoot only broadheads for a few weeks before season , know your limitations , and go get um . Like Graig Coture says , the most fun you can have , without going to jail

IMHO You are better off buying a "big name" bow just to have the higher resale value.
You don't just buy a bow because it will have higher resale value.
Don't let people give you bad advice. Buy what fits you best and feels best, whether it be a low or high end bow or whatever brand.

Yes 10 months you will be ready given the dedication.
I just bought a Hoyt Razortech and my dad just bought a PSE Bruin. We both went shooting the other day and then switched bows. To be honest, I was expecting when I shot his that mine would blow it out of the water..........................it didnt. His bruin was very very smooth, no hand shcok and just a nice feeling bow. I was very suprised....so I woud recommend that Bruin. I have always said, you should go to a pro shop blind folded and shoot every bow in the place, never look at the brand name, never look at the price. Which ever bow feels the best in your hands.........thats the bow for you.

If money is not an object then by all means buy the best that you can afford. You will be better off in the long run.
Do not "settle" on a "beginners" bow. If you can afford to get a Bowtech or Hoyt, AR, high end PSE or what ever then you should definetly shoot all of those bows and decide by actually shooting and handling them. Not because you think you may not be good enough to shoot these bows.
With the higher end bows you get little up grades that many people do not realize when they go bow shopping that either improve performance or improve the durability of the bow.
Little things include Stainless steel stabilizer bushings rather threaded into an aluminum riser, machined aluminum limb pockets rather than cast, pivoting limb pockets rather than static pockets, sealed bearings in the cams and idler wheel rather tahn bushings, laminated wood grips rather than plastic, upgraded limbs, vibration deadening deviced integrated into the bow, and upgraded strings.

IN my opinion PSE makes a bow that ranks right up there with the "big name" bows. when i got back into shooting compounds i bought a pse and in a couple of weeks was ready for the season opener. it was one of my favorite bows that i ever had until some uknown idiot stole it

Mike 838,
Maybe you were ready and maybe you weren't.In your case i think the "getting back into it" might have been the big difference from someone starting from scratch--you had previous expeience.jmho.

A tuned setup and quality practice will help. Some people are naturals and will increase their abilities rapidly. There are also some who have practiced 10 years and still don't have a handle on the sport. Take you time and put in quality practice. Don't exceed your ability. If you can shoot 35 yards and in consistently, keep your shots on game within your comfort zone. Shoot from assorted positions. Quite often the game you are hunting will catch you in a awkward position and the you may only have one chance for a good shot. Most of all enjoy the sport. When it becomes a chore, step away for awhile and give yourself a break.

It matters not how long you prepare or what skill level you obtain. What's important, is that you stay within your limitations when hunting. If you can only accurately shoot out to 15 yards, then don't take 20 yard shots. Since you're new, pass up a shot that you're unsure of even it the animal is real close. Hitting a shoulder or other major bone is not going to work in most instances. Wait for the shot you know you can make.

jsasker,your right. i did not mean that newbhunter could be ready in a couple of weeks by any means. i guess that i was stating how well that pse shot . maybe newbhunter could be ready and maybe might need too PRACTICE a little longer. but you guys are right . practice will bring confidence no need too rush things. Good Luck Newbhunter
