You could easily be quite proficient by next season. If you have the means to get the right equipment, go get it and find your local bowshop to get set up and start shooting, It's really addictive. If you have the safe space at your house to set up a range, even better.

We joined an archery range several years ago.  Now, we joined another range too and that has both firearm and archery.  My son and I are working through the process, as you are.  He is finally ready to pull the weight needed, so maybe next season we will be archery.  We have older bows and I just got new releases today.  I'll be putting whisker biscuits, dlinks and peep sights/new range sights on now.  We have both recurve and compound bows.  Go to a pro shop, speak with them.  I bought arm guards, now not needed.  The new quiver is a must.  Before too long, I'll buy another setup.

You could always go Archery elk together, bring him along to help pack, and then go with him modern to help pack, unless you hunt on your own and just share camp, whats the diff ?
Beleive me, the first time you get an elk up close, destroying the landscape and screaming at you, modern firearm season will never be the same.

So I was looking for a good bow shop/club in my area and I turned up ONE (1)!!! Shop in Kitsap County, after further investigation from Hunters on here and on the web reviews say that the shop around here is terrible. Do you guys know a good Pierce/King/Thurston county shop or club I should look into?
