re: How did you get started in bow hunting?

I was 15, got my drivers license and wanted to started deer hunting earlier than rifle season. My sister’s husband was a bow hunter. He gave me a PSE Fireflight, with too short of a draw length and some old Easton arrows. I shot it in his yard and got to where I could group it more or less in a pie plate at 25 yards. I took it to the woods the next morning, climbed in my ladder stand and waited. 30 minutes later 5 does came out. I picked out the biggest one and let fly. Hit her right behind the shoulder, she ran about 50 yards and fell over dead. I thought, shite, there’s nothing to this. I got me some real gear and went on a bow hunting tear. For about 10 years I killed more doe and scraggly pine thicket bucks than small pox. Then I had kids, they got in to hunting and I very rarely bow hunt. I miss it.
