Bow Hunting - Natural Way Of Hunting
Hunting with a Bow is quite a famous sport; there are a few things a novice bow hunter should learn before getting into the thrilling game of bow hunting. First is to learn about laws and regulations of hunting in different states as hunting seasons and laws vary from one State to other. To get information about a particular state, get in touch with game and fish commission or similar agencies to ensure the exact rule, season of hunting, and state laws. A hunting license is compulsory in every state with exception for some private hunting clubs offering organized bow hunts.
Then learn everything you can about variety of bows that are available. Though the selection of bows, the type, and brand may differ as per the individual's choice, a lot depends on the season, the animal you want to hunt, state and national rules regarding the hunt etc. There are hunting bows of four types
• Stick bow
• Recurve
• Compound bow
• Cross bow
The first is Stick bows. A stick bow is the long English bow. It is as high or may be slightly higher than a normal individual, in the shape of "D" and does not have a recurve.
The next is Recurves. The side view of a recurve bow shows the curve ending away from the shooter at the tip. This lends a bigger throw to the arrow.
Recurve bows are preferred on bow hunting because they are smaller than a normal stick bow and easier to handle while going through forest areas on horseback. .
Then comes the Compound Bow which is a modern bow. It is a normal bow constructed in combination with a technique of cams, cables and pulleys to give higher speed to arrow. It is essential to judge the draw weight and bow length of your choice and for this consult an expert. Bows are not one size fits all.
The fourth is Cross bow for target shooting and bow hunting. A cross bow is made of a stock on which the bow is fixed. An activated trigger on the stock shoots arrow like projectiles from the bow.
Once familiar with laws of hunting, and after completion of preconditioned requirements to hunt legally like licenses and safety courses in hunting, and selection of the right bow, then decide on the type of arrows to be used.
There are variety of arrows with long handles like cedar, aluminum and carbon. Choose which arrow handle will be best suited for your bow, where you will be hunting, what you will be hunting and if there are any government or hunt club rules to be followed. Ensure with an expert archery dealer, until you can select the arrows best for your bow hunting experience

.22 hunting rifle help.?
OK, so I'm 12 years old, starting hunting and the closest thing to a gun I've ever used is a Daisy scoped rifle for cans/paper targets and maybe even a bird if no one was looking. So I no practically nothing about guns except for what I saw on the Military Channel. I need advice from all those small game hunters out there to help me choose out a good, beginner .22 caliber scoped rifle for small game (I'm taking a safety course then buying my license right before my birthday). My budget is about $350 to about $500 if I save up.
Thanks,
-Blake S.
I doesn't necessarily have to have a scope on it because I'll buy a new scope if I have additional money from relatives and friends.

Best choice for my next gun?
I recently purchased a Saiga 12 and converted it myself. I turn 21 soon and am debating between various guns to purchase as my next gun. The spray and pray mentality that comes with a Saiga 12 is fun with targets and skeet but I'm looking for something else to work on skill. I visit our college range weekly to shoot club .22s but it would be nice to have something to practice with at home. So far by hearsay and some research I've come up with this list but am open to suggestions and comments. By the way price is important. I want a nice weapon but things like a Barrett .50 are a little pricey for my age.
Current Wishlist:
Chinese SKS (heard they were fun to shoot)
***An accurate non-hunting (my family owns many hunting rifles) long range rifle for sport.
CZ 75 SP01 Phantom or .45 CZ97
Hi capacity pistols such as one of the Springfield XD series
AR-15
1911
***I have much less knowledge about scoped rifles so best guess might be a Remington 700 or some sort of .308 or .338 Lapua but scopes would probably put this out of my price range. A great rifle would be nice to have for some long distance shooting.
Future Wishlist so these are a no for now:
semi auto converted lmg such as RPK or a Browning Automatic rifle
Bushmaster ACR
Desert Eagle
Tompson
Mos Nagant
Luger
Barrett .50 cal
AK74 or 47
aps amphibious rifle :P
Double barrel over under or side by side
Revolvers most likely high calibers
Dragunov
and also maybe some exotic assault rifles or class 3 weapons when money permits
I expect to pass on quite a calming hobby for me as well as a decent collection. I know it was a long post but thanks for reading and replying to the post.
For a long range rifle I would prefer one with a pistol grip instead of a butt stock grip.
