Well if I was to buy a bow or need custom arrows, I would definately go to the local guys where I could try them and see them and feel them. But by far it is more exspensive at the local guys. Guess that is part of business and buying but when you work hard for a dollar, well for me, I want it to go as far as it will. I need to set up another bow when I get home and will check the local guys and maybe buy with some price comparison, but I am not going to pay lots more, travel to it some a nice piece away, when the Gander Mountain might have it cheaper....
