Now something like this really doesn't help beginners to start on the right foot.
I am peeved to say the least!!!
An archery shop that cares for the customer and looks towards the future, would have spent some time with you and your bow.
This not only makes the customer comfortable--but it also helps to alleviate a situation whereby the customer can get hurt by a bow that isincorrectly configured.
When buying a product--unless it is marked "AS IS"--then by all means the thing must be in good working condition. And NO Pro Shop for that matter, should be selling 'weapons' on an 'as is' case.
Bows, like the one you have mentioned can break the spirit of a beginner and the archery fraternity would have lost an opportunity to grow its members.
Not good at all--take your bow back--ASAP, mention your concerns to the owner of the Pro Shop--if he mentions additional charges, just ask for a refund and go elsewhere immediately.
I am unsure ifby accident,the arrow touching the bottom of your sight was overlooked--but bows should not leave a Pro Shop without being throughly inspected and deemed in good working order.
The shop owes this to his customers--if they want to stay in business.
Other than this--you're dealing with the WRONG PEOPLE!!!
