RE: Local bow shop vs. eBay
The advice already given is definately good sound advice, but here is something else to think about.
Is this a new bow or a used bow? If it is used, then you probably won't have to worry about the point I will make.
If it is a new bow, you must remember some manufacturers don't allow you the lifetime warranty on bows bought over the internet. If you do end up buying a new bow over the internet you may save money in the beginning but if something should happen to the bow (like limbs exploding, cams bending/breaking, risers bending/cracking) these expenses will have to come out of pocket.
Just something to think about, even if you decide to buy the bow over the internet and find a good deal on the used bow, in the future you may be inclined to gobackto the internet for a new bow. Just thought I would fill you in on that piece of information.
Hopefully it will help ya out.
Good luck!
