RE: Very Discuraged, upset, mad !!!!
I agree with both sides here. First off, just because there is a sight and rest on the bow wouldn't deter me from purchasing it. Now, if the bow looked like it was thrown down a flight of steps then that's adifferent story. What we need to remember as well is that you also can't walk into an archery shop and say "I don't want a tester bow". If I said that at any reputable shop they'd laugh. reason being is that every stinkin' bow on the shelf is a "tester" bow. I don't know of a single archery shop around that can afford to buy one of each model and let it just sit on the shelf for people to shoot. So if people are going to say..."I want a bow that has never been shot" chances are they are going to have to wait until a new one arrives because 90% of the bows on the shelf have an arrow through them. On the other hand the dealer should have been open an honest with you about the condition of the bow. That would be my biggest issue with this entire scenario. Like I said, a few shots through it are to be expected but if it was in as bad of a condition as you said he should have said something.
