Re: So I want to get into Bowhunting
Bow Walker and Sealevel, to start with a good second hand bow, a inexpensive pin sight and a dozen game tracker arrows are more than plentyful good. There are many guys who purchased top of the range equipment for 1000 and more dollars only to find out archery it is not for them.
I still shot a 10 year old bow, a BuckMasters with a 3 ,steel, pin sight and aluminum arrows. It's as good as any set up and never let me down. I lost count how many folks I itroduced to archery and I started them all off with something decent but very affordable and then as they gained experience and like it they purchased a new bow and still had a good back up bow. On the other hand I have trained guys with top notch everything and they lost interest and where stuck with a very expensieve bow. There are plenty of very good second hand bows out there as there are archers that trade in their bows for the newest model every two years to stay fashionable.
It's like Walkalot said practice and confidence in the equipment is more important than spending 1000's of dollars. Start simple and affordable that's my advice and I stick by it. Of course if someone has money to blow left right and center go ahead buy the very best of everything but it want make you a good archer or hunter.
