Sounds like the local shop has already earned your business.
It's up to you to give it to them or not. I think you should.

Ihave boughtmy bows from the same guy for about 8 years now.
He used to have his own shop but went to work for Scheels a few years ago.
He knows his stuff and he knows me.
That is worth a lot to me.
I have never had a problem with anything he has sold me. I shoot Mathews
But I know,without a doubt that if I ever do have a problem or need help Roger will be there for me.
