Archery basics question. how much does it cost for this and that?

[vujade]

Hi. I picked up my first compound bow. It's used but it looks nice. Anyway, since the guy that had it is much taller than I am, I'm sure it can stand to be 're-adjusted' to fit me better.

I've only shot it once and I don't know enough to see what's a 'good fit'.

Anyway, what are some good archery places in Nashville?

Also, how much does it typically cost to get a bow 'adjusted' to fit you? (i can see the pulleys have all these places the cables can go to). It's just a standard $400-$500 bow that you find new at Academy/Dicks.

Where do you guys buy arrows? (best prices in town or online)

thanks!

I can't help you as far as suggesting places around Nashville. The local shop I prefer in Memphis charges around $65 to adjust the bow to you and get everything tuned up. If you're a new archer, that price also includes getting you on target - they go out on the range with you and help you adjust your sights and help with your form. I'd recommend getting at least your first set of arrows at your local shop so that they cut them the right length. My local shop has good enough prices that I will usually buy arrows and anything else I need from him instead of ordering from online sources (which is wierd for me - I'm used to buying everything much cheaper online!).
