Just two minutes from sanity.
I went through a real bad spell with arthritis for several years. Due to severe pain and lack of shoulder mobility, I got to where I couldn't draw a bow, so I gave away all my archery equipment to younger guys who were getting started in the hobby. With certain changes in lifestyle, and use of kettlebells, I have restored the strength and mobility to my shoulders...and now I'm getting the urge to go out in October with sticks n' strings.
What I want to know is whether Hunter's Friend is a reliable outfit. Specifically, I am looking at this Ready-to-Hunt package. I remember how time consuming it could be tuning a bow and getting it ready to take to the woods. Spare time is something of which I don't have a lot any more. If these guys are for real, and the bow genuinely does come to your door only need a final tweak of the sight pins, I guess I'll bite on one of these.
 
Joe,
You can buy a bow from a local shop for less probably.
I've never dealt with this site and mostly use yeoldearcheryshoppe.com for my mail order needs since my local guys went out of business about 4 years ago.

Check out archerytalk.com too. I post over there as well. Lots of informed people in those parts for traditional and compound archery.

FWIW, you'll likely still have to paper test it and fine tune it. Really, that's the most time consuming part.
