The archery shops I'm accustom to know how to write you out a reciept though the hand writing is hard to read. The shop where I bought my Maverick in December of 1999 didn't have a replacement string I could also buy. At the shop where I bought my Patriot the &quot;Tec&quot; will not look you in the eye when talking to him, I think he is all of maybe 23 years old. This shop didn't carry any BowTech quivers or the neat little repair parts kits so I had to order one. Len you must be a blessing to your customers<img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>.
