Examples:
(1)neither my nearest two pro shops or a Gander Mtn. don't carry 17/64" field points. I need them for my A/C Slims, gave mine to my son for his Axis. The GM store and one shop carries Axis shafts but not the correct size field points.

(2)None of the 3 are currently carrying the RM Turbo broadheads or blades......thats what I shot last year but used a gift certificate to buy them from an online store.

(3)I wanted a Schaffer rest, got lucky and found a new one on Ebay.

(4)I wanted the A/C Slim shafts, nobody around carries them in stock, but I eventually found new uncut shafts, although not locally.

(5)I wanted a Viper sight, had to order it because nobody carries them in my area yet.

What I am getting at is............are you as picky with equipment or do you buy what is in stock? Me, I know what I want beforehand and sometimes I want what is not as popular in my area, but many times have to order it. No blame at all to any shops, there is no way they can carry everything without going bankrupt.
