It sounds like you folks have had some bad experiences. I do not blame you for having some of the feelings that you do. However, as Straightarrow mentioned, there are bad shops and good ones. I can think of at least 3 in my area that I would have no problem taking my bow to if I needed to get a repair done on it. However, there are also a few that I will not buy from not to mention take my bow there for work.
