I had a head injury and couldn't shoot a rifle for about a year. Easy fix, .44 Mag. or .45 colt. Bowhunting is a lot of fun though. There are lot's of good bows out there. Go to a few bow shops and ask plenty of questions. The only recommendation I have is to stay away from mechanical (expand on impact) broadheads if you are going after pigs. That gristle shield can be pretty thjick and you could also hit a heavy bone like the shoulder. I would use the Snuffer head if you are going after pigs.
