Thanks for the reply.

Yes a compound is what I would look for. My weak and spindly arms wouldn't handle a long bow.

I would probably try a manual release first as that is what I have always used. Don't like gadgets. But get the point of using a mechanical release so would probably try one.

"It is idiot proof" - This sounds good for me.

What sort of minumum weight should the compound be at - for pigs and deer sized game? I will leave the DG for you with a bow and stick to something that produces smoke to hide behind if necessary.

"have an experienced person watch you shoot and evaluate you as you go. Learn how to adjust your sight and rest. "Follow" the arrow when shooting and you'll be zero'd before you know it. "

Good advice. My brother-in-law shoots competition so it may be worth going along there. I wonder if my gut will get in the way!

Sorry about the jokes, I am serious about shooting a sharp twig with string and a piece of flexible wood!
