my goal is at least 55 or 60. Not many of the hefty girls here can pull over 58 lbs. Im only 5'2 and 108 lbs, so it's kinda hard. hammermanhave you killed anything yet?

ORIGINAL: hammerman

This will be my fifth year and I'm 32,so the answer isno you are not to young but you might want to look at cranking that poundage up a bit for better penetration.
Be warned that bow hunting can be the most addicting thing you will ever do!!
Looks like hammerman is ASSuming.

I started bow hunting at 18 also and have been doing it for 21 years now. It blows away hunting with a gun.

[:@]I'M 32 and this will be my first bowhunt. It's almost like shooting a gun. Aim small: Miss small.... Pace yourself, practice, practice and practice and enjoy.Just feeling the difference between the 2 styles/types of hunting gives you a better perspective. You have all the time in the world. Ask questions when you have'em and watch those you hunt with. Get-R-Done!!!!

At 18 you're still just a pup. I know guys who didn't get started bow hunting until they were in their 50's. I didn't start until I was 23 and have been doing it for almost 30 years. You're never too old or too young in your case.
