Smile My first bow

Well I have finally decided to try bow hunting. I can't wait but I may have waited to late to find a bow. I finally found a Matthews solo cam that was left handed , 50 lb draw, with 27 and a half draw length. I paid $275 for it. It is ten years old but hopefully I got a reasonable deal. Does anyone hunt with one this old? The season comes in here Sept. 10 so I only have a month to practice. How long does it take to get comfortable enough to head on to the stand. I know that its probably different for everyone, but how long did it take you? I've only drawn 30 arrows at the place that I bought it and didn't do to bad, but I want to know without a doubt that I'm ready. And I also know that 30 arrows isn't near enough practice. I plan to practice at least 5 days a week. Also any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.
