Nother potential newbie

[Marko]

Hi guys...Been around here for a while off and on...Have had guns for quite a few years now but have always been interested in compound bows...Wondering what a non expensive pack would be to just get started. Get decent at shooting and then maybe for Size up to a White tail or Mule(nothing bigger) what would people recommend. I'd rather start with small and buy better things with Time as i progress....

Great starter bow with room to grow is the Diamond Razor Edge.

You will need the bow, sight, peep, release and arrows.

A knife? ;-) arrows ? Hunting boots? A mentor.

Haha Hunting knives and boots I have Mentor i have never had but never turn down good learning experience :) I may order my bow tomorrow From wholesale sports store but may buy the stuff local. I live in Vernon (Okanagan) :)

[Marko]

Stupid question but when it says left or right hand on the site to order is that Holding Left or right or drawing left or right?

Agreed- they will help you find one that fits, and offer service after the fact.

Hardcore archery Hmm Never heard i will have to pop up there!

[Marko]

Just checked out there website and they have the Razor as a Kit! that is totally awesome and decent price! I always hate the feeling of the new guy! But springs coming and this would be awesome to do for fun just target practicing for a long time :) And nicer i can reuse the arrows and not run outta bullets like with guns! haha

[knockturnal]

theres lots of 3ds around here to shoot too. its a ton of fun.

[Marko]

Well went to Hardcore archery today! Loved the place and the people :) Ken was awesome set me up with a PSE Stinger 3G kit and showed me the ropes and the g/f is excited to get into it to now so i probably will be back there next weekend for her but shes not a hunter so it will be just fun shooting for her. Cant wait to go shooting now :D

Congrats! Welcome to the addiction!

Another one comes to the dark side.. lol

Can't believe I missed this thread!

Welcome to the site and to the sport of archery.

As has been said - there are ample opportunities for shooting, both for your hunting and for your g/f's 3D and target shooting. I'm betting that you'll get addicted to 3D as well as hunting.

Nice buy. Looked at the Stinger 3G myself before settling on the PSE Brute. I love my bow and I find it amazing that companies are able to make such great shooting bows for under $500. Deer won't know what hit' em. Welcome to archery.

[Marko]

thanks guys :) Im hoping to get something setup at home today so i can start practice shooting asap :)
