i wanted to bowhunt BAD this year...and needed ALL the gear...but didnt wanna break the bank...i found huntersfriend.com ..i was hesitant at first...but decided to go ahead. i bought a reflex highlander package..figured out my draw legnth using their method recomended...bow came a week later tuned and setup and adjusted..within 50 shots at 15yds i robinhooded an arrow!! i never shot a real bow in my life before this...i read ALOT online about proper form etc...and my bow fit well and was tuned well.

AND...in my area...shops dont care if you bought it here or there or where your getting charged PERIOD! sure if you buy it BRAND new they may set it up ONCE...but huntersfriend DID that for me. after my string broke in i noticed..and my arrows were toooo long and spine was bad for my BHs so i had to goto a shop..i had it retuned and my arrows all cut and refletched!. they didnt give me a hard time at all. i noticed a poster..said if you bought it there and have proof any work is half price of people who bought elsewhere...tuning for customers is 5$...for me with a bow i bought elsewhere was 10. setup..i wouldnt pay anyone to tighten screws..sure it needs tuned..10$..so for me it really didnt make a diffrence...the shop knows me by name now and hook me up with deals already...

im also the kinda guy that rather do my own work...slowly but surely ill be buying stuff to make my OWN personal proshop...
