Nearing 59. Only started shooting bows in my 40's. Never owned a compound, only shot a handful of arrows through 'em. Still consider myself a novice, and barely ready to hunt whitetails ( as far as the bow goes. Wandered the woods since I was a kid).

50 years young and only been into trad archery since Dec of 2011.  Have already taken 2 hogs with my longbows and have had 3 close calls with deer.  I'm hooked!
