What if you were to go into a shop and it was run by younger people. Generally speaking, my age and a bit older, say 18 - 25.
Would that cause you to have less faith in their work at first glance, or would you give them the benefit of the doubt about what they know?
Well taking that to the other extreme, a shop near me is run by a guy in his 60's and hes a big dope. Regardless of age, if the shop has a good reputation for service and overall helpfulness then it's a good shop.
Myself, I try to not rely on anyone but myself because then I know what I did and plus the satisfaction of working on your own bow is worth the extra time it takes to research.
