Ya know, that really is the way I'm trying to look at it. We all want a new bow at some point, but damn boys, I don't want to buy a bow the day the frickin rut comes in! I want to do that in January so I have 10 months to get used to the bow. I'm a firm believer in practice, practice, practice and that having confidence in your equipment and your ability to shoot is darn-near as important as the equipment itself!
