not the dogs

This is great advise. There is to many factors that a good shop will help you with. Just make sure that you go to a good shop that knows their stuff. I wouldn't go to a big name sporting good store unless you know that the guy that works there knows alot about bows. I went to one, I'm not saying any names, and asked them if they cut arrows down and they looked at me like I was crazy. So I got back in my car and drove 45 minutes away to the shop that I bought my bow from. Sure wish there was one closer.
