I want to go hunting for the first time.

I'm 27, my grandparents raised me and I remember my grandpa and uncle hunting when I was a kid. My grandpa got diagnosed with dementia when I was 8 before we ever got past target practice in the backyard. My uncle took his life when I was 14 and he wasn't around as much after papaw got sick. I've always been interested in hunting and I just found out the property I grew up in is in a pocket of private property in a WMA. I remember playing in those woods as kids and I would love to go get a deer from out there.

Thumb draw gloves

I hope everyone is having a peaceful Sunday :) I wanted to ask if there is any particular recommendation on a thumb draw glove which facilitates a crisp release.

I find it more physically comfortable to use a leather glove for thumb release than my self designed
(3d printed in PLA) shallow hook rings. They do shoot quite well in the beginning when the thumb is fresh but after a while the sides start pinching and i develop (almost always) a swollen thumb.

I made another post about this used bow I found for sale yesterday, and now I'm really leaning towards closing the deal...

I took screenshots from the video the seller showed me via chat, I tried to focus on the flaws, there are some marks, but no delamination or cracks, it looks well preserved, the seller said he bought it in 2024 and is selling it because he couldn't find good places to train with it (in my country, archery is not popular). I see wear marks caused by the string, but I can fix that by adding some leather to cushion the string slap, the biggest issue I saw was the string itself, there are some frayed bits on it, I don't know how reliable it is, but I can buy another string from the manufacturers (Old Skull Archery) I'm decided to buy it because this is a very expensive bow in my country, a bow that I couldn't afford new, but used, it's less than half the price, do you also think it's a good deal? (I asked if the bow makes any strange noise when drawing the string, he assured me it doesn't, but if I buy it and notice that, by law, I can return any product purchased online within 7 days after receiving it, without having to justify the reason for the return)
