Len,
I completely understand where you are coming from. I, for one, have been very greatful. I, because of my location, have to be my own bow mechanic and have become functional at it thanks to you and others help.

We have one pro-shop in my area and they sell one type of bow (Hoyt). Then we have another (quite a bit farther away) that operates out of his house (Mathews). Neither has a clue about bow maintenance. I asked them to check my axels and bushings after hunting season and was told "modern compounds don't need to be checked like that and I don't think the axels are supposed to come out.".....
Reassuring huh?

Those of you with a GOOD pro-shop located near by should appreciate it.
