Todd1700, I agree with all of your comments 100%.

A few years back I bought a new set of chest waders from Scheels. I had a North Dakota duck hunting trip coming up in a few weeks and to be sure they worked, I tested them in our swimming pool. I am sure glad I did test them, because they leaked at a seam for the chest pocket. It is a MUST to try out all of your equipment before you head out to the field!

Would you buy a new bow package that already has a sight, rest, quiver, etc. and take it out hunting assuming that it is spot on? Of course not!
