I agree that it's in poor taste. If you are in the unfortunate situation that your pro-shop is insane on their prices, then they have it coming. If the shop is within a few dollars, even up to $10, for me it is completely worth it to get it from the pro shop. I have purchased everything I have on my bow, including the bow, from the pro-shop I use and as SBG said, there are plenty of other benefits that come with it. When I am at the shop shooting and I have a problem of some type, they throw my bow right on the press and fix it. I have also learned a ton from them and have made some good friends now too.For me, the extra money is well worth it, and in the long run, it isn't very much (IMO). There are so many benefits that come from establishing a good relationship with the pro-shop to throw it away by buying everything elsewhere and having them put it on. Just my $.02.
