Readthis story from this year...

I guyI know who has never bowhunted is given an old bow (no components other than arrow rest) by a friend of his so he can go bowhunting the NEXT DAY.

The bow that was given to him had a draw length of 32 inches...this guy is only 5 '8. He brought the bow to the local sporting goods store to get set up with some components but since the bow is very old they didn't have any sights that would attach to it. So they told him to just draw back to the side of his face...look down the side of the arrow and let it fly.

So the next day he went hunting and shot a 6 point buck at 23 yards...with a draw length 4 iches too long...no sights...no practice... and shooting fingers with an arrow rest that should only be used with a release.
