And I thought fishing was exspensive

Well I just had to get my Bow out this year. It's been 5-6 years since I've actually hunted with it But with zooker's post of his deer, and a couple of friends talking about it, I just got the bug again. I knew I needed new sights, and too be perfectly honest, other than shooting it somewhat decently, I don't know much about Bows. I have a "Martin" Bow, and took it to a local whitetail place to have it looked at and a good going over. Well of course I need just about everything, from sights, to rest, to steel cables, string rewrapped, and of course I need some new CARBON arrows, and some broadheads. And oh I forgot about the glide for the string Anyway it was supposed to be ready yesterday , but when I called that's when I found out about the cables, because of the sights, they needed to be replaced . Anyway I don't have the final bil yet, but I'm guessing about $400 for all the work, and equipment . Well I guess I better start using it. I have lost touch with the costs of bows, and maintaining them. So this was a shock. I was sitting there talking with the guy, and come to find out my bow is kinda a dinosaur nowadays, so I had to upgrade it or buy a new one. The cheapest ones he had were $450, and that didn't include the arrows, for around $80 a dozen, or the broadheads. I realize I could find all this stuff cheaper probably somewhere else, but he was reccommended, by a friend. And after I got it all, I would have to do all the work, and probably screw it all up. So now I gotta practice shooting it, and start scouting. My buddie said he'd go hunting on some public ground this year, so we are going to give it a shot. The reason I haven't hunted in ssoo looooonnnnngggg is I lost the place I had to hunt. Do to it being sold. I have a fear of public hunting, because of the crazy, psyco, idiots they allow out there. But since I want to hunt, I have to go public. I am looking forward to getting some venison myself.
