Even good shops are brand loyal. I was talking about a certain Brand with my shop owner. (Hoyt shop). I always liked the bow we were discussing. Of course he had to try and tune 1, one time and found the riser was bent. Hehad problems dealing with the maker and thus they are all now "junk" in his eyes.

He is a stand-up guy and helpful as all get-out but bias and who pays the bills creeps into his (and most) judgements.
