Default Am I Too old?

This September 15th (Missouri) will be the first time I go bow hunting. I'm 18 years old and pulling about 48 pounds. Am I too old to be starting? This year Im just going out for the experience, I may go with a guide next year up in Northern MO/

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!!

I didn't start until I was 18 myself and have been hooked ever since. Never too old to start.

I thought you were going to say you were something like 70 or 80 years old.
