Hey guys, I'm new to bow hunting and archery alike thanks in part to a rekindling of my love of the woods by my family's land going back to family only hunting. In short, my wonderful fiancé bought me my first rig( I knew I was marrying her for some reason). I have done extensive research online about bow hunting ,but doesn't do much good for me personally. So I was wondering what everyone on here has for words of wisdom for an amateur bow hunter. Also , really impressed what the MBA dies year I'm and out. That's probably why I joined to support it the best I knew how. TL:DR looking for some advice to get me going the right way.

Well first of all let me say on behalf of the MBA that we appreciate the support you have given the state organization. Only through people like you can our organization stay strong and face the many challenges that are presented to us. As far as bowhunting goes, I think you already know that hunting with the bow and arrow provides the highest of highs...and the lowest of lows. By it's nature it not easy, but it's the" hard part" that sets the bar high and makes it the great sport that it is. I would suggest not to put too much pressure on yourself. Get your bow tuned by a good archery shop and learn to shoot the best that you can. The ability to shoot far isn't really that important; moreso its the ability to shoot well at your own self imposed limitations based on your skills that is paramount. Whether you can shoot well at 50 yards or 15...you can still get in the woods and enjoy bowhunting. The traffic on this site has always been slow...especially this time of year. I would suggest that you visit "Bullnettler" as it's arguably the largest outdoor website in the state. www.bullnettlenews.com/forum/yaf_topics6_Archery-and-Bowhunting.aspx I think you will find that many MBA members use that site and you will get prompt responses to your inquiries. That said, don't forget this site and cruise by on occasion to see what is being said. Most our our news goes on the home page so you can visit to see the events and latest happenings. Good luck on your bowhunting pursuit...and I would keep that fiance as she seems like a keeper ;D |
