I use too about a decade or so ago, but haven't touched a bow since. I was pretty good with a bow. A lot better then I would have ever thought. I do have one RODBINHOOD to prove it to. And it was a called shot also. The guy's arrow that I shot into wasn't too happy though...

I use a crossbow. I tried a regular bow for a couple of years, I never could get the hang of it.
So I took the easy way out.

I love bowhunting here in Minnesota before it gets cold, have the woods to yourself. The venison is excellent too.

I started Bowhunting back in 1995, and have not picked up a rifle since then, my wife ended up being a world champion in her discipline and I ended up sponsored by an archery company, I was never as good as my wife, she is a dead shot, if we had women like her on the battle lines we would not need to fight wars, but I have participated for almost 20 years now, sitting here watching the deer running around in the yard tonight, reminds me of why I live it so much!

10+ years ago there were 3 seasons in my year: fishing, bowhunting, archery tournaments. Since the kids came along it's now fishing and archery, my kids have no interest in hunting yet and land isn't as easy to come by as it used to be. I do miss late season bowhunting. I hate mornings but there's something special about being out there as the sun comes up over a fresh snow.

Sub, I didn't hunt for 10 years because I was too busy being a Dad. When I was done coaching youth football I bought a new bow as a retirement gift. You will have time again at some point.
