Last March, I was looking for a new bow. I went to a number of shops and compared bows, service and prices. The one furthest from my house (more than an hour away) wanted over $150 more for the bow alone--not counting the accessories--than the other shops. I then found a great shop with-in 10 minutes of my house that had the bow I wanted, in stock, in my size for the cheapest price. They set everything up for me, helped me get it tuned, etc. And that's where I go for everything now.
