Archery

Archery is a great hobby to get into but it can be very expensive. It helps to keep your eye sight in check because if your eyes are bad it would be very hard to focus on the target. Now just the sport its self is fun and keeps you competive with your self. Now if you are younger it is easyer to learn how to shoot. Now if you where an adult and all you where doing it for was for the hunting it is difficult to get to the level that you need to be to be able to hunt and to kill a Deer. The bigger atractions with the bow are the leagues and things like that.



For adults they think it is easy to kill an animal like a deer with a bow because they are so powerful and they make the deer bleed a lot. But it is very difficult to get comfortable with a bow and to shoot good cuz there is multiple steps. You could miss a deer with a bow just by your feet being pointed the wrong way. Also unlike a gun the bow has multible sights so you just cant use the same sight for 15 yards and for 40 you would have to make ajustments like by aiming higher with the bow. Also if you are in a tree stand then it adds a even harder challenge because you have to take into consideration of how high up in the tree you are. So if your an adult that has shoot a gun for a long time it will be extreamly hard to get used to the bow and how it works. So you are better off getting a bow and pratice with it for a good year before go out hunting or anything like that. That is one of the main causes of deer getting wonded is by unexperinced hunters.



Now back to the kids and the youth. If you start around the age 10 its great because you'll have a good amount of pratice before you could even go hunting so you would have all the pratice that you would need. Now if you are just starting I would recomend that you do some type of a leagues because that gets you better every year cuz your not just competting with other people and kids you know your competting with yourself and making yourself better. Which can be very hard in other sports. Most of the people that are the best and get all these great deer are the people that have shot all there life and know what they are doing.
