IMHO Gander Mountain, Cabelas, Bass Pro & Schees are great places to buy shoes & socks.

When you need real help a pro is worth the extra money. I am not bow savy enough to buy a bow, set it up right & tune it right myself.
That is why I will always find a good pro & do my business at his shop. You will not find good pro's at every shop, so keep looking until you find one.
