Bought a bow about 5 years ago and had a few lessons from the friendly folks at Eagle Wings. Then kept practicing and have killed 3 deer with it. It's not my bow shooting skills stopping me from taking deer with it, its the fact that when in a tee stand, I get some of the best sleep I have ever had! And yes, I do use the saftey harness!
Mom and Dad bought me a 410 shotgun when I was 12 and I did alot of rabbit and squirrel hunting with it. I didn't get into deer hunting untl I was about 34 or 35. No one in my family ever hunted deer!

My dad taught me. I don't remember how old I was, but I was shooting archery when I was 10 or so. I bow hunted with him a good amount in middle school and high school. I never have killed a deer with a bow, but I killed several with a gun. My favorite trips were to a Ballard Youth hunt with my dad, granddad, and brother...and then a couple of trips to Sturgis with my dad and some of his hunting buddies. I wish Sturgis was still huntable to us. That place was and still is amazing.
I went off to college in 2000 and just didn't have the time or money to put into hunting any more. I'm really starting to get the fever again though and I plan on buying a bow here soon and plan for next season. I'm about two hours away from "home" but Fort Campbell and LBL are right in the middle of my dad and I so I can't wait to meet up with him a couple times next fall for some hunting.

and first rimfire was at 4, first centerfire at 6.
I feel like a loser now. My son didn't shoot a rimfire until he was 8. BB gun at 7.
He did kill a buck at 10 though. And in Florida too!
