Default Changing limbs cost?

I just got new limbs for my bow. Had a sliver splint on one of the limb edges so the company gave me new ones. Im just a little hesitant about changing them now...a month and a bit away from hunting season because the bow is shooting great right now and I don't want to mess that up by changing the limbs now as opose to after the season. What is the approx cost to have someone change the limbs? I guess a full tune would be required as well when changing the limbs...correct? These new limbs are exact replacements.

Cost me $47 when my limb snapped. I would guess it would be about an hours labour so call your closest shop and ask.

Change them. Regardless of the cost, or time frame. Like mentioned above. It's not worth it to wait it out.

Change them out ASAP. A month is plenty enough time to set everything up and tune even if you shoot 30-45 min a day. Like mentioned befor a limb sliver is like a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up in your face. When a bow blows on you it's NOT a fun experience.
