Good luck! (You asked )

I don't understand why you're having to take your own set of allen wrenches to a pro shop... I mean, to me, they obviously should have the correct tools to work on bows. Guess I'm just not getting that one.

The only reason I am bringing my own set of Allan wrenches is because I have a set that is larger and allows for more leverage...at this point im desperate and am going to try anything that may help!

As far as the target goes, I use a bag target for shooting field points. They are easy to remove and they last for thousands of arrows as long as you stick to field points. For braodheads I use a homemade target stuffed with cotton from an old worn out target. The reason is I hate, hate, hate block targets. They are just a PITA as far as I am concerned. I know that could be doing something wrong, but the bag targets are cheap as dirt compared to them, and are much easier to remove arrows from. My field points shoot 5 yards "shorter" than my braodheads, so I jsut practice field points mostly and shoot broadheads occasionally to make sure everything is still kosher. Y'all would laugh if you saw my braodhead target, but it works and is easy as pie to pull and arrow out of.

Sorry about your luck ,but if you had taken our advice you wouldn't be in this predicament .This is one of the main reason's we say you need to go to a pro shop .There wouldn't be any sending back and cost's added and there wouldn't be any setup charge's to boot X2.
Now you have these extra charges of shipping and re-setup charge's to boot ,all this has now left a bad taste in your mouth.
As for the target I'd definately march it right back to where you bought it ,but then again if you didn't read the instruction's carefully you just may be out of luck on this one .
I don't mean to jump on you about this ,but this is why most of us on this forum highly recommend going to a repetable pro shop ,so they can set you up right the first time ,there most likely would be no need to return and if you did you wouldn't have to put any extra coin out of your pocket .
I really do hope thing's work out for the best for you in the long run ,but now you'll understand our reasoning .
Good luck and keep us up to date on your progress.

I am not sure what area you live, but if there is anyway to go to or work through Cabela's they offer great customer service. I have a Cabela's Outfitter series bow (PSE) and am lucky enough to live about an hour away from Cabela's. I shot it there, bought and they set it up and I shot it before I left there. In another post I stated how a friend of mine blew his bow up and they replaced it, reinstalled everything at no charge. So keep working through this they will do right by you.

I hope no one think's I knocking Cabela's ,because I'm not, they do have excellent service and stand behind their product's the best of any company. I'm just saying if you don't live near by and your new to archery it's best to go to a proshop and be fitted properly with your choice .
I appoligize if anyone took what I said as slamming .

how was your shooting ? did you hit where you wanted to ? does the bow shoot good for you ?

getting arrows out of the target is a little thing - use an arrow gripper, that'll help. Stuff newspaper in a carboad box and shoot at it - thats a cheap target. As for the limb bolts ......... I'd crank on them until they either give or break. If they break, PSE should back the bow. If they break lose - you're good to go

I just got back from the Pro shop...they apologized for selling me a target that they thought worked for field points, and let me exchange it for a shooting bag. Also, After using my style allan wrenches the guy at the pro shopwas able to get the bolts loose on the limbs and back down the draw weight. Hopefully now I can start practicing!

Thanks for everyone insight.

Sure glad to hear thing's worked out for you .

What he said. I started shooting and hunting with bows back when I was a kid, over 25 years ago. I can still remember some of the frustrations involved. Once you get it all down, youll think, "This isnt that big of a deal". And you will love it.
