YUP, do it early. I've been in Len's shop many times over the years when there were people backed up at every counter all wanting sudden service that couldn't possibly be given as there were weeks of customers ahead of them. Everything from arrows, to buying new bows to repair and tune ups on the old ones. Days when Len will work until 10 or 11 at nightjust trying to plug the hole in the dike. There isn't much he can do at that point except keep plugging and tell you there were 200 people a head of you. LOL And yes, he can get cranky then. LOL The closer we move toward the fall the more intense and busy it gets. I've noticed this year that with all the new bows going out his door and new arrows being built, he seems to be peaking a little early. You wait until summer and you'll probably end up waiting until Sept to get it back.
