Title: Where to try bows?
Post by: AndyCAK on June 07, 2011, 10:05:18 PM: Hi All!
Though I've only been hunting a short time, I'm already tired of feeling like I'm at a Bronco's game when I'm surrounded by orange during rifle season. I haven't shot a bow since boy scout camp 15-20 years ago so I'd like to experiment a bit before I make the plunge. Any suggestions on where I can go in the Seattle area to try out a couple bows before I make a purchase? Any pointers would be fantastic!
Thanks!

Bill will get you all set up and give you a great start as to proper form, etc.
