you'd be surprised...was in dick's the day before our opener bow getting a new wrist strap and 2 kids come in both around 23ish... start looking at bows pick one for the price never tried it out for fit and ask if the pro can have it set up before the day is over they were planning to go hunting the next day ! I had to walk away to keep from saying something.... I did get some satisfaction when I heard the pro lecturing them about the ethics of trying to hunt with no practice with a new bow what soever I laughed silently when he told them he couldn't possibly have it set up for them for 2 days..... after they leave( bought the bow) the pro says thats the reason bowhunters get a bad rep.....he could of set the bow up right then and there too ! I gained some respect for the pro right then

About 8 years ago the group of guys I hunted with were all out in the woods when we hear a rifle report. One the radio we here "I just shot a buck", no joke, you just disturbed the whole woods! Anyway, he shot the buck in the jaw and it was just hanging there when it ran off. So after tracking this deer across the property and onto the neighbors property, maybe close to a mile distance, we lost his trail. It wasn't going to bleed out, it was going to starve and die the worst of deaths.

After questioning Elmer Fudd it turns out he didn't even shoot in his rifle that year. For the last two or three years his son took his gun to the range and dialed it in. No wonder he has problems like that. Since that event I will not enter the woods with that guy.
