Default Sharing A Bow?

ok, this may sound REALLY stupid, but. Here it goes.

If I buy a bow and get it customed to me in the pro shop, can my dad learn to shoot it accurate too with my pin settings, draw length, etc?(THAT'S THE MAIN QUESTION) My dad is a little taller than me and his arms are a little bit longer. I was wondering if we would have to get 2 bows or if we could use the same bow on alternate days, or mornings and evenings.... Cause I want to get a bow, but we can't afford 2 right now, plus my dad will only shoot so much in a year and it may not be reasonable to spend a lot on a second bow.

PLease, give it to me straight. If it's because he won't shoot a lot and he may not be the best shot when it comes to hunting...etc. (that's one I thought of) ANYTHING!

Thanx

I would bet on a big no, but give it a try at close yardages. I've played around on the 3d range with friends and swap bows. We ended up digging for arrows more than shooting, but it was fun! You'll just have to try it.

No, especially if his draw length is long then yours. It might be OK for close range 3D fun or something but DEFINATLY not hunting!
