Len you hit the nail on the head!

there isa big difference between a archery technician and a retailer who dabbles with bows a little on the side and yes many people are self proclaimed "Pros"

I have never considered my self a pro per say but I would rather say that I am a factory trained and authorized technician which deals with total bow assembly to fine tuning this also includes being able to build strings, arrows or any other aspect related to bow mechanics.

I am also certified Instructor so all bases are covered at the shop I manage.
