I also bougth my first bow from huntersfriend, that was last spring. I had only shot a friend's bow a few times before that. The day I received my new bow I was hitting my target!! The bow was all set up, I didn't have to do anything to it. I would highly reccomend this company to anybody that is just getting into the sport (addiction). As great as the equipment is I am still trying to get my first deer (only 2 weeks left here in Maine). The service after the sale was great as well, they forgot to include my broadheads in the original shipment but sent them out as soon as I called. I also bought additional arrows from them and they arrived quick and in perfect condition. I say buy it, you won't be sorry!!
