Thread: swtiching to bow hunting

hey all, im switching from hunting with a rifle to hunting with a bow.

my only experience with using a bow was when i was a wee fella making bows from willow branches and arrows from toi toi chutes and putting a 6inch galve nail in the end.

the helpful folk and hunting and theiving were no help what so ever so i though id try from the helpful folk here.

now what are some of the basics i need to know when getting a bow?

what size? kind of poundage is needed? arrows etc? brands? etc etc

thanks in advance, ill take everything you say to heart
