Well, in all honesty, I would love to find someone in the SW Suburbs of Chicago thatI trust working on mybows, but the more I think about it, the more I realize I am learning more on my own instead of hitting up the shops. Mainly because I haven't found a decent shop yet. I have seen the guys working atthelocal Gander Mountain and Bass Pro. They haven't impressed me yet.

Through using resources such as HNI and elsewhere on the internet, I really only have to head back to the shop for warranty repairs if need be. (Lucky for me, I haven't had to test out the warranty yet). I am still fine-tuning my "bow tuning" skills but other than that, with a few more purchases (namely an arrow saw) and building my own paper-tuning rack as well as drawing board, I feel I will be close to becoming self-sufficient.

I would like to have a guy show me the ins-and-outs first hand, to speed up the learning process, but I am comfortable learning it myselfwith the help ofmy friends here on HNI.

The more I hear this phrase, the more I am believing it, "working on bows isn't rocket science!"

Getting over the initial fear of screwing something up and acquiring the necessary tools to maintain a bow are really the only issues I have been running into. Learning how to work on my bowhas been the REWARD so far!
