RE: What do you think
It sounds like a good deal, but. How can they put the peep in for you without you being there? Every person is different and that is an individual install item. Not universal for every person. You better now your draw length for sure and hope the bow is what it says it is. Just because a bow says it has a 30 inch draw doesn't mean it does. Bows can vary as much as inch from manufacturer to manufacturer. Mathews and Parkers tend to draw 3/4 of inch farther than what the module says.
It also hard for someone else to paper tune your bow for you, since again, everyone shoots different.
If you had some knowledge about bows and can serve in a peep and tune one one your own the price sure seems good. These are good bows, not the best on the market, but not junk either. It does seem slow by todays standards, especially for having a brace hight under 7 inches.
If you were a beginner I would highly recomend going to a proshop. Take the ad with you and see how close they could get to it. You may pay a bit more, but it would be worth it.
If you new a little bit about archery and bows and feel comfortable tinkering with them it would make a great back up bow. I have seen bows in shops completely set up for around 400 dollars that were very nice. But you would most likely have to buy the case and release seperate. Usually the arrows and heads too. Which could add about another $200 the price.
I am curious to see what others think.
