No hunting for me, as I wouldn't want to leave my family long enough to pursue it, plus I wouldn't want a slow kill on my conscience (this is not a dig on hunters, and the skills they have). Our local Regional Parks have an Archery Range near my home, and near my work, I have no plans beyond that.
But now I'm curious about archery where you live in "Longbow"land!

If you're doing target shooting you'll still want a substantially better bow than one intended to be decorative. I'd recommend hitting up the archery range to figure out what your preferred draw weight is (if you buy an 80 pound bow and it turns out that you can't handle anything more than 60 you just wasted a fair amount of money), and then seeing about finding a bow afterwards.
