Many people will say too late, I however had to get a bunch of crap adjusted on my bow and the dude at the pro shop helped me sight it in rather quickly. It took me a total of 2 days to adjust to the new setup and I did an archery shoot the same week the setup took place. Took 2nd on day one, 1st on day 2. It just depends on how quick of learner you are I guess. If you dont see for yourself you'll never know. Just make sure you're comfortable and confident come time to hunt. If you're not sure you can kill a deer, practice until you are. The seasons long enough that you should be able to hunt this year with a new setup.

It's never too late. Just starting out, the best thing to do is to get out in the woods and start learning. If you have someone to go with that will be a big help. Otherwise, you've got us, so ask us any question you want and we'll do our best to help you out.

Good luck.

Maybe you can get your nails done and sip on some gen and juice while they set your bow up for you.

i think that is a little uncalled for just because he is willing to do what ever it takes to get into bow hunting even if that mean flying across the county that does not mean you can jump on him for it

Cut a little slack Motown, it sounds like he works for Southwest and can hop a flight to anyplace the fly.
