My Grandfather is 79, he still bowhunts with me. He has a Xbow with Accudraw. I got him eletric screw driver to crank it back for him.
So Yes you can hunt until 75. Frank Scott an employee of Fred Bear hunted well into his 80'

So far, I have been blessed with good healthand can't imagine not bowhunting.
HoweverI am currently recuperiating from a wrist injury that prevents me from drawing a bow, and it has made me realize how much we take for granted relative to health and its correlation with bowhunting.
My goal is to either live to 100 or die trying.![Big Grin](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Congratulations JimW! My goal is to be hopefully healthy enough that when I am retired and have significantly more free time that I can fill that time with the things that I enjoy the most.Bowhunting definitely being one of those things!
I want to wring all I can out of this life!

When I started bowhunting in 1993 I said I will bowhunt until I can't pull a bow back. Now, I'm 61 years and I still pull 65 lbs. like I did in 1993. So maybe I will be able to keep on keeping on. However, the reality is that at some point there will be a change in my ability. So, I'm going to maximize my opportunities to hunt as much as I can.

Dang Jim W, good work! I really believe if I set a goal that my health will be better as I age...have to stay in good shape to get out there a good long way in those woods!

I plan on Bow Hunting as long as I can hold up...then I'm getting a Doctors slip and getting me a Crossbow and go on for another 20 years!
Heck if I have to I'll just tag along with my Daughters and future grandkids and watch them hunt! ![Big Grin](https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Any one see the Jim Shokey Hunting show the other day when Jim took his Dad hunting and he shoot at the Moose and missed,he either handed him his gun or reloaded his muzzeloader again and the second time he shot he dropped the Moose!When they went to check it out his Dad had shot a chunk out of one of the Antlers! [&:]His Dad had to be in his late 70's or 80's?
