I understand what you're saying. I had the same thing happen to me year's ago with just a few days to go before the opener. The bad news is not being in the stand the first couple days after the corn was picked since that can be an awesome time. However, the GOOD news is that the rut is NOT in full swing yet and, even though it's getting started up, it's not nearly to the level we all look forward to every year. You can still go with your new set-up and possibly have a shot, but your season ain't nearly over. You WILL have more time to practice and gain confidence if it doesn't work out this weekend. You'll be fine.
