My wife recently expressed interest in learning how to shoot a bow, and eventually getting into bow hunting. We just joined a club with indoor/outdoor archery ranges, and she thought it might be a useful skill to have. I'm just a gun guy, have been all my life. My father bow hunted when he was younger, but I never had much interest in it, so I didn't pay attention.
I'd like to get her set up for Christmas but don't know where to start. I'd rather not go shopping and have a salesman talk me into a whole bunch of sh*t that she doesn't need, or worse yet, a bow that isn't suitable or enjoyable for her. Is it possible to buy a bow for someone else, or is it necessary they get "fitted" for it? A word in advance; dumb your comments down for me. I'm pretty archery illiterate.
