They are fine, so long as you are willing to buy what they want to sell. [:-] In my case, specifically Bowtech...didn't want anything that was being crammed down my throat, so it is the last brand I'd buy. I have an Elite Fire on the way and I'll be willing to travel even further (I was already driving an hour and a quarter) to patronize a shop that is interested in selling what I am interested in buying and in servicing a brand of bow of my choice.
