Default Mounting a new sight.

Hey folks, just wondering what mounting a new sight all entails and whether you'd recommend for a complete beginner to do it themselves or would I be better off taking it in to a shop? I was going to wait till I got my new rest and bring it all in to get tuned and everything all together but its still going to be a few weeks before my rest will be in so i figure i should at least get my sight on so I can get practicing again.
Thanks a lot
Schian

bolt it on and start shooting. No real trick to it.

Might want someone to stand beside you for the first couple shots to make sure you are going to hit the back stop..after that let it rip

ok, so i got my sight mounted, but now am having problems mounting my quiver back on properly because of the screws i think. its kind of hard to explain but are all the screws standard for everything? I bought the sight second hand and didn't get any screws or anything with it.

Depending on the sight, and the quiver type you might need longer screws that allow for the bracket to be mounted, sometimes they have spacer inserts to give you more clearance between the quiver mount and the sight. If you don't have any or are not sure just take it down to the shop when you get ur rest and they should be able to fix ya up.

Ya. That's what I'm going to have to do. My rest should be in this week so I'll be making a trip out to swamp donkey pretty soon here.
