Sounds to me he has the "buck fever" thing taken care of. Bow starts in a week? Try this, tell him to practice until last week of OCT, first week of NOV, then have him shoot out of a tree that isn't in your hunting area, and see how he does. As far as set ups go, ya gotta do your own work, make him find and set up his own, thats part of the reward when you get yourself a nice deer. You may be pleasantly surprised, some people it does come natural. If he can't shoot that bow accurately inside of 2 months, then he has NO business bowhunting at all.
