Both require getting close to the prey and the skill to make the shot. Many hunters are turning to these two sports because they got bored with the scoped high powered rifle. Here in southern Pa we cannot hunt with centerfire rife. Many areas are shotgun only. These are open to bow and muzzleloaders.
Many states now have Muzzleloader seasons.
Some people are drawn to the sport because of its link to history. Some just like another season to be in the woods. Whatever your reason, welcome. There are many pro shops in the Bucks County area to aid you in selecting the proper bow. A bow must be fitted to your draw length.
