I would start shooting but then you didn't say how long until you get the new rest.
Wait until you get your new rest, get it laser-lined first with your arrow, sight, string and peep-sight, and then get it paper-tuned if you want to.
Dude, you're getting a new bow, you should do what you can to get it right before you walk out the door, after you laid down your hard-earned cash. I don't think many people buy new bows every year as they are more expensive the a very nice rifle, or at least I don't.
This is only my socond bow in 14 years. I am getting the bow at a llocal dealer, but mail-ordering the sight and rest.
Good luck! I wish I were getting a new bow, but my wife said I have to bring home a Pope & Young Buck or Bull this Fall first. Give Trophy Taker Xtreme Full-Containment Rest and the Montana Black Gold FlashPoint Sight, they're awesome!
I was leaning more towards the QAD Ultra-Rest Hunter drop-away and the TruGlo TruSite Xtreme 5-pin sight.
Yeah, those are very good too, I've had the TruGlo sight you are mentioning and it was very good for the price (around $50.00?) QAD rests are solid too. Enjoy your new set-up.
Thanks for the advice Dog.
Wait until you get your new stuff. Season is a long way off so don't worry about getting it sighted in until you have the stuff that your using next year
If I had a new bow I would be shooting it.
Depends on how bad you want to shoot it, how much of a pain you think sighting in is, and how soon until you buy the rest. I personally think that is as much fun as any othe shooting, so I would sight it in now and later (as long as I wasn't getting the rest this weekend or something).
Agreed with BuckTheSystem answer above and A + 1 for you sir!!!
