Len I know what you mean, but I have a hard time charging friends to set up their bows after they spend 150$ on arrows and miss stuff. I think i am in line with the pro shops up the road and what the mail order sells their stuff for. I dont really mind not charging for a tune up because everyone I have helped have bought at least 20-80 dollars worth of items. I know I don`t know everything and I would love to know how to make strings up or even install new strings but that will come in time because I need a string on my G2. If I screw it up then I will know how not to do it and will take it to someone and let them show me. lord knows I have tinkered with my bows enought and they all shoot great. the only reason I wanted to open a shop is I love archery, I like to have my bow fixed right away and not weight 2 weeks, or drive 1+ hr up the road to get penny items installed, I love the look at somebody as they finally get their bow dialed in after another pro shop charged them 20 bucks and they still cant hit anything, all they wanted to do is sell them a new bow, Point in fact I helped a friends kid with his first bow he had it for 2 years and took it to 3 people who worked on it and couldn`t get it to draw more then 25lbs after I fixed it to pull 40 as stated on the limbs and taught him to shoot groups at 20 yards , he went out 2 days later and nailed a buck and I got a call from him today and he killed a 85lb doe last night and this kid is only 11 years old and just loves to shoot, that is why I got into it.....
