Default sight or arrows.

I am thinking about buying some new arrows. But season is two weeks away and it will be two weeks before i get my target. SO would it be a bad idea changing arrows thust resighting my bow at the start of my season. I need a new sight nothing wrong with the current sight i use just alittle on the dark side and not much besides a sight. You guys think it would be ok to change it now.
Also guys what ar eyour thoughts on the truglo superslam sight

Ya true. Thinking about changing the string sight and arrows then starting fresh all new. Plus i really want to change my fleatches anyway. I am sure if i buy my sight arrows and string from gander or the local shop there set it up and help me tune it in good.

ya. I need new arrows mine suck for hunting more a cheap target arrow. Figure if i need to resight should just change everything at once. As for a late start. My season was looking trashed. Actuly i was getting ready to tell rob to pull me out of the contest. I am in a new area with no scouting no idea of where to hunt. Plus a few other issues that kill my time. Then i find out i am going to back to sullivan back to my old hunting area. SO i think it will work out. There will be no lost wounded deer thread here.

If you think your arrows are junk, I'd replace them. No use using something you don't have confindence in. Sounds like your sight is fine anyway.

Matter of fact, if you like vertical pins sights shoot me a pm and I'll send you one. It's just sitting in my case collecting dust.
