How old are you ?  I am 45 years young !
How long have you been a hunter ? I've been hunting since I was 12 , that's my first solo hunt
When did you start bow hunting ?

I started bowhunting when I lived in the USA, 2002. I always known about bow hunting but this was my first introduction to it. I loved it from day one!

Why did you start bow hunting ? I friend invited me to shoot out in the town I was living, I was really impressed by the bow and how good all the archers where, my mentor who also sold bows helped me get started. Also in that region bow hunting season was the only time of the year you felt safe out in the woods!
What kind of bow do you use ? Currently I shoot a compound bow (Bowtech General) I shoot a little recurve but not for hunting, just for fun.
What game do you usually hunt with the bow ? To me Rodeer and deer is the primary game I hunt, other lesser games as well but deer is the main animal I hunt.
What do you work with ? I am an IT pro, so mainly computers and web works.
What do you see in bow hunting that regular hunting does not give you ? It makes me a better hunter, it also forces me to be more up to date on the game I hunt, bow hunting to me is a very demanding form of hunting and I love every minute of it!
How often do you practice ? During the winter time, maybe ones a week, in the summer it is almost every day provided the weather is on my side.
How many games have you harvested with bow and arrow ? Lost count to be honest but 20+ deer I belive at this point, who counts ?
Other comments on bow hunting ? It's somthing I recomend, it is like a drug, ones you started you can't stop, most of my rifles are just rusting away in the closet, to me there is only one hunting weapon these days!
