    I like shooting skeet and trap but also really enjoy target shooting the bow. I have an older PSC that does the trick. Sometimes there is nothing better than shooting 50 or 60 arrows into my target after a long day at the office. Thinking of going out to find a dear this year. I guess we will see.

    I bow & gun hunt.
    My bow is a Jennings Buckmaster & I use a Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag, Winchester shotgun (12 Ga ) & a 54 cal Knight ML.
    Don't dedicate as much time to bowhunting as I should, but there's always next year!

    Good luck with your bowhunting.

    Oh yeah! Bow hunter first all the way! Second to archery hunting for me would be black powder, followed by handgun. Did some rifle hunting in upper Michigan when I used to live up there...but it was just not as sporting. Nothing wrong with it..I just like the challenges faced while hunting with a bow!

    Bow hunting all the way. This was the first year I used my bow opening weekend of firearms because I had not killed a deer yet and was determine to get one with the my bow.

    Only got one with a bow so far but I prefer bow season due to weather. Oh hell, I just like to be outside. This year was first year out during bow season due to birth of kids, work etc., but can safely say "I'm back"

    I prefer to hunt deer with a bow over any other weapon, but still switch to a firearm once firearms season opens -- I'm not diehard enough to bowhunt during firearms season. My latest bow is a BowTech 82nd Airborne, with which I've taken one 8-point buck and four does in the two years I've owned it.

    i would take a bow hunting anyday over a gun. its so much more up close and personal, and it is actually challenging vs gun hunting. gun hunting is a little challenging, point and shoot, the only hard part is knowing bullet drop for yardage. with a bow you have to come to full draw, take aim, and shoot without getting busted by animal, and to top it, it actually takes skill to shoot accuratly enough to humainly take game, and not just wound every animal you shoot. and there is no such thing as semi auto bow, you only get one chance, in most cases. not to mention most quality arrows cost about $15-$20 a piece with good broad head, so your not going to let it go till you get that perfect shot.
    its so much more thrilling to me because that animal actually has a chance to use its senses and find me before i kill it. when u are shooting out at 100 yrds with gun theres no contest, the animal never knows your there, its to easy. now if i was killing for food to survive than yea ill take a gun.

    I also prefer bowhunting. Bowtech Sniper 65/29 with Hostage Pro rest, Spot Hogg sights, String Tamer stopper, TruBall release, and Bemen 340's topped with 100 grain Grim Reaper Razortips.

    Anyone have any advise on choosing a broadhead for turkey hunting?
