The signatures to get this initiative on the ballot are stacking up as we speak! (Colorado had a brush with this recently too but their Supreme Court shot it down.) In a nutshell I

  Almost 30 years ago I picked up my first bow with the intent of becoming proficient enough to go bowhunting that fall. I instantly fell in love with shooting a bow and arrow, as well as bowhunting big game. That first day that three young mule deer came within 10 yards of me, making my heart pound out of my chest, had me hooked for life. Thankful

Having spent a lifetime learning from trial and error, I just might very well be as good a guy as there is to offer introductory archery advice to best equip the newcomer to avoid the mistakes that every new archer/bowhunter will face.
