I could use some help. So here is the deal. I have never shot a bow or crossbow before in my life. I am looking to get started into hunting during the archery season to maximize time in the mountains and up my chances of filling tags. I mostly meat hunt both elk and deer and live in Pinedale, Wy. I have little preference as to whether to go the compound or crossbow route and as crossbows are legal in Wy either is fine with me. I know some get upset about crossbows but I am just trying to get out in the mountains and feed my family so I really could care less about the "glory" or whatever about using a compound vs a crossbow. I have some cabelas gift cards stacked up (I know its better to go the archery shop route but this is the money I have) and figure they will have some sort of sale here for the day after Thanksgiving or end of the year. I am just looking for some advice as to what to look for, brands, features, etc that I would need in getting my first bow/crossbow. I want to be able to hunt elk and deer with it and possibly antelope. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you all again. I have had so much help from this forum in the past for so many things! It really is a great place.
