Hello all

[Al_D]

Name's Al and I'm from Southwestern PA.  I'm in my mid-30's, married with two sons, former military, and work full time as a supervisor in a job I enjoy.  I love the outdoors, spending time with my family, staying in shape, and most recently I got the bowhunting bug.

A good friend of mine lent me his compound bow to try out, but it wasn't really my style as I prefer the simpler things rather than a bunch of bells and whistles.  Another friend of mine let me try out some of his traditional bows and I was absolutely hooked.  I just picked up a Ben Pearson Cougar yesterday (45# @ 28") and this morning was my first time shooting it.  Needless to say, I think I'm hooked and can't wait to go hunt with it.  That's all for now, thanks for allowing me to sign up.

Thanks everyone.  My oldest (4) is already raring to shoot a bow.  He likes to watch from the window when I'm shooting at my block target.
