Shops are really not allowed to ship Hoyt bows.....That is indeed, mail order. I mean, they COULD do it, but if Hoyt found out, they would pull their dealership. And there's really no way for Hoyt NOT to find out......once the warranty info is filled out.....they know.

The absolute best course of action would be to contact hoyt directly. They may be able to help out.....I don't know they will or won't, but that's probably your best shot.

I'm quite confident this is not the only time this has come up.....I'm certain there have been others in your predicament.
