Re: how long did it take till hunting with a bow
I've always rifle hunted (since about 6yrs old), but I just started bow hunting 2 years ago. I bought my bow in early September, about 3 weeks before bow season here in Oklahoma. I shot nearly everyday for three weeks, and by October 16 I had connected on my first 2 does. Its all about having the confidence in yourself and in your abilities. I knew I was ready and rock solid out to 25 yards that first season, and when the chance presented itself, I was ready. I shoot year round now, and I'm always trying to improve. I don't think there is a magic time frame as to when you are ready to hunt, I think that its different for every hunter
