Plus,the arrow tuning is phenominal.[8D]
This is something everyone should pay a lot of attention to. Tuning a bow properly is fairly easy and can be accomplished by the average shop with no trouble. However, tuning an arrow properly (including configuring it), is somewhat complex and in my opinion, many times more important than a perfect bow tune (especially when involving a broahead tipped arrow). The odd thing is, very few shops actually offer arrow tuning that is truely excellent.

There are 30 bow shops within 40 miles of where I live. I don't believe any of them offer spine tuning or spine testing as an option. Personally, I will no longer shoot an arrow that I haven't spine tested and tuned. I built my own spine tester and find it an indespensible tool. I would say on average, I spend 10 times as much time tuning my arrows than my bow, and that doesn't count the time to actually build them. It has paid off in a huge way.
