Without Local Community Pro Shops around to maintain exposure to our sport within those communities, Archery as we know it will quickly be forgotten--mark my words. Ifwe onlypurchase thru the mega stores or online "because it is cheaper/easier", then the local Pro shops will soon be gone and this would be the end---we MUST support them!This new age of internet sales, jacks of all trades megabox store conglomerates, and manufacturers catering to them due to the easier profit to be made from a truckoad of product going to one location instead of the same amount going to say 100 places, will eventually bethe killing stroke to the sport IMHO. If there are no local shops, then there is lesser local exposure andinterest, and in turnless local places to shoot--- thus people will in turn simply go do something else. We cannot afford to let this happen.
Support your local Pro shops please! The sport you may save by doing somay be your own!
