Sounds like an awesome deal to me. As someone who has tinkered with bows for over 25 years, I just took it as common knowledge that a bow set up in a factory might not shoot the same as my old faithful until we got to see eye to eye on the range. You have to admit that it is a heck of a deal for that price. As far as the "loaded gun" theory, I don't fully agree with it. Any person able to pass the current checks can purchase a firearm and head to the woods to hunt for animals they may have never seen in their life. This is evident by the number of yahoo's that come to a check station with a farmers calve and think it is a deer. I admit this doesn't occur very often, but once is bad enough. Every one of us here was at one time new to the sport. Does that mean we automatically were a risk to game and everyone around. I think not. Even some of the most veteran arches posses bad habits. Bottom line it looks to be a great bow at a great price and the only ones that need worry are the pro shop owners as it could take some of their business away.
