I shot a few times when I was a kid, then about 8 times since I picked it back up this summer. Watched a few youtube videos first, and carefully read the instructions for bow assembly. I think you would have no trouble @zpedro - having the properly setup land or access to an archery range would be the biggest hurdle. Making sure not to have too heavy of a draw weight is important. Be careful. This bow I purchased on amazon for $220, had to wait the 2 months for slow boat, but I like the quality and it was worth it for me. It's a relaxing time whenever I go down to the target range :)
