A New Bowhunter!

[NebraskaWhitetail]

Well, folks, I finally did it. After some consideration about adding bowhunting to my list of addictions, I had the opportunity to purchase a used Browing Mirage Hunter bow and accessories for a very reasonable price. My rationale is that this set up will get me started, and in a few years, I can move up to some more expensive equipment. The bow should be arriving sometime this next week while I'm in Wyoming hunting antelope, and I've already arranged for a local archer friend to give me some lessons in correct shooting form. With any luck, I'll be slinging arrows at deer very soon. Thanks to everyone here who encouraged me to take the plunge, especially Muddy! Here's a photo sent to me by the previous owner of the bow so you can see what it looks like:

That will be a great set up for yah, and I hope to see a picture of you with that bow and my sheds, that had rattled in a monster you shot

goodluck and welcome to the addiction

Thats great, no better way to spend a day in stand with primitive weapon. Thats what its all about. Congrats on your new addiction.

yes, that browning will make a very nice boat anchor one day

glad to hear you're going to try it out, bowhunting is more addictive than women.

As long as it kills deer, why does it matter?
