Hey everybody,
Just wanted to introduce myself to the community. I am an aspiring bow hunter looking for some mentoring. I would appreciate the same from all the bow hunting gurus out there.
Thanks,
Shikaari

Why do they make it taste so good and put it in them little bitty cans- Dad
Gun bans have never accomplished anything, other than to create a safe working environment for criminals.

Welcome to the forum. We're an unorthodox bunch that never agrees on anything. But if you go ahead and ask a question, we can argue about it until it drives you to drinking.[:)]

What do you mean we never agree, all of us agree that gagirl is a very pretty lady. Most agree i'm weird and I agree with myself that buckey is(well ya'll know)[:D][:D][:D]Welcome aboard shikaari and hope you enjoy yer stay

Welcome aboard! Have you had the chance to shoot either compound or recurve? The best beginner bow is going to be the one that you feel most comfortable with. I would suggest going to a shop and shooting a few to see what you like.

I have shot a Hoyt compound bow and kinda liked it but that was in Alaska. Unfortunately I am living in NJ (NY Metro area)right now. And NJ to the best of my knowledge sucks when it comes to resources and stores for hunters (especially bow hunters) and its amazing how many people here seem to be rabidly anti-gun, anti-hunting etc etc etc. Anyways I dont want to rant on that topic. But do you folks happen to know about some good stores/dealers around here where I could go and test out a recurve bow?
How much of a beginner are you?
When it comes to Bowhunting/archery a complete beginner. Otherwise I have been hunting for the last decade or so. It just seemed more of a challenge to switch to bowhunting. Besides the more I read the more elegant bowhunting appears.

I have shot both compound and recurve. To me it was easier to start with a compound bow. You have a sight to look at like a rifle make switching from a firearm to a bow much easier. After you have taken a few deer, than try to hunt with a recurve or long bow. By then you should be a lot more knolagable about bow hunting. But most important of all have a great time, don't turn bow hunting into a job.
