Thread: Thinking of bow hunting

hey guys im thinking of getting into bow hunting and need some advise on it. I used to belong to the one tree hill archery club back in the day so i am not totally green when it comes to setting up and shooting.

First question bow or crossbow? and do i really need to go out and spend hundreds of dollars on these space age looking kits? DOC say you need 30lbs for a bow and 150lbs for a crossbow to hunt on DOC land..those are not very high specs for those from what ive seen out there. is there a reason people get this expensive gear? its not like a gun where you spend thousands on a good scope and barrel so whats the difference between the cheaper ones that are the same power as these expensive ones?

cheers guys
