    It takes a pair of grande cajones to piss off a 9-foot grizzly with a bow and arrow. :cool:

    I think I want to buy a Bow...

    What is a good Bow for a rookie? Just something to shoot arrows at a target.

    Don't matter what you get if you want to have fun. As long as it is safe and works good then any bow, traditional or compound will be great. Just enjoy the sport!! If you want to get serious then that is another story.:cool:
