Well, the wife and i made the leap!

[huntingbaldguy]

I've been talking about it for a couple years now, getting my wife into hunting with me.  She finally said she wanted to, on one condition.  She wanted to start with archery.  I've been talking about going archery since i started hunting, and this gave me the excuse to do it now that i have a hunting partner.  So we went out and bought a pair of bows about 2 months ago.  We both absolutely love shooting!  She went with a Mission Craze and i went with a Hoyt Charger.  We've been practicing about every other day trying to get her draw weight up slowly to the legal minimum, and she is doing great and having fun at the same time.  We plan to join an archery club in the next month or so and go out shooting there at least once a week.  A buddy of mine is helping us with our shooting form and he's been very patient with us.  We are getting there.  These are most recent pics.

Looks like you guys are starting out nicely!  Good equipment, fitted well and having fun is what long term enjoyment is all about   A couple things I noticed I'll send you a PM on.

Great to see you and your wife doing this together!

It's definitely cool our interests are aligned on this.  It's a great feeling sharing a hobby with her.

Congratulations,  I just started recently also and I'm really enjoying  the heck out of it. The guys at Sportsmans Warehouse have helped me out a bit but I need some more pointers so I'll be making a trip back or to Cabela's pretty soon. I shoot for a couple hours day whenever it's not raining and am gradually getting the draw weight up there. I'm looking forward to archery season this year. Ok good luck to you your wife!

Baldguy, you are definitely on the right track.  Here's hoping you & your wife take those bows out this fall & have the time of your lives in the hunting field.  Happy New Year!

My husband gave me a Mission Craze this year too. I've already had a blast learning archery on it, hope she enjoys it too! It got way better when I was able to get up to a 50lb draw after some working out and practice, made me feel a lot better when I didn't have to aim at the sky to shoot an arrow past 40 yards

Hoyt! Excellent choice. Hunting with a stick and string is addicting. Welcome aboard👍

Nice to see someone who got their bow fitted correctly and has good form!  You're both standing with shoulders above the hips, not leaning back, GOOD!  a lot of women (and men!) get their forward hip thrust out, leaning their shoulders back.  Neither of you are!  Nice!  welcome to the addiction!
