Obviously, you know that you are not in a "pickle", you're in a dream!
My son and I have been bow hunting together since he was 12.(he's 40 and he does all the heavy lifting now!) I never regretted a minute spent scouting or hunting with him. His sons have recently begun rifle hunting with some success and we've had a couple of 3 generation bowhunts(which was one of my dreams!). My granddaughter on the other side just hunted for the first time this last fall and I gave her a deer rifle for Christmas. Every one of the family shoots a bow and I am confident most will try bowhunting when they can. I wish you the same joy.
Lived in Colorado for 12 years. It is heaven for a bow hunter. Savor the experience.
