My 1st hunting clothing

For the past few months I have been slowly building my camo hunting wardrobe. First I ordered gloves, then I got a ladies hat and now my cool weather suit.

I started out purchasing the gloves since I knew the cold weather was coming. I wanted to have nice gloves to go out and shoot my bow. Since I have small hands I had to order my gloves on line so that I could order women's small. I don't know about other areas, but where I live you can't find much in the way of women's hunting anything, let alone women's size small gloves. The gloves were backordered so I just received them. I haven't had a chance to shoot my bow with them. Maybe tonight but definitely this weekend!

As for my great fleece hat. I was not looking for a hat, but while shopping online at Bass Pro, they were having a GREAT sale that you got free shipping with the purchase of any hunting clothing. So I found a ladies hat. It has a slit in the back for your ponytail to go through. That is cool. It also is camo on one side and hunter orange on the other. The hat is also a little longer on the sides so that it covers your ears. I'm excited to try it out.

Yesterday, hubby and I had an opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping. So while shopping we went to our local Gander Mountain. They were having a sale on their brand of hunting clothes. I tried on their women's hunting clothes and ended up purchasing youth hunting clothes. They fit me and they were of course cheaper than the women'shunting clothes. So I got my very first Realtree AP hunting suit!

The Beginning

About 2 months ago my husband asked me if I would like to shoot skeet or trap with him as a hobby that we could do together. I said "NO. But I'll try shooting a bow with you." So hubby promptly borrowed a re-curve bow for me to try. I liked it but was not shooting very well. He had gotten a new bow so we went to our local archery shop to see if they could turn down the poundage on his old bow so I could pull it back...nope. The next thing I know I am holding this cute little bow and being asked if I could pull it back. We bought my first compound bow, a Hoyt Kobalt that night. I love it!!! I am hooked on shooting it.

I have been trying to learn as much as I can about archery, hunting, bows (especially Hoyt bows) and just immersing myself in the world of archery. I have joined forums and chat rooms on several different archery websites. When I first started this adventure it was just to have a hobby that hubby and I could do together and it was just going to be 3D shoots in the summer. Then I was browsing the Shoot Like A Girl website, I was looking at the photos of women and their kills. I read about a 15 year old girl that had a picture of her and her first turkey kill with a bow. It really sparked my interest. I went home and told hubby I think I want to try turkey hunting but not until spring Gobbler. He asked if I was feeling sick.

Now I'm researching camo clothing, camo blinds and turkey calls. I have not bought anything other than a couple new camo hats. I am actually a little intimidated by all the options there are out there. But I will keep looking and asking for advise. So if anyone has some good words of wisdom to help me out I would greatly appreciate it.
