I have been lucky and and have not needed to take my bow in anyplace for service. It shoots quick and clean and any small adjustsments I can make myself. I keep thinking that I should have it restringed but that would have to be done after the season is over, but for now if it isn't broke don't fix it. Also I do all of my practicing athome. Get some funny looks fromsome people but they'll get over it. Did you get your paper tuning problem solved?
