I took my dauhter out today bow shopping. i deal with Potter county outfitters in Coudersport,PA. I thought it was gonna be a challenge trying to set her up being the age of 10. After a couple of hours of looking and talking, between the 3 of us she is getting the Rintec from Hoyt. This guy was great to deal with and willing to work with you and ans. questions that were off the wall. I guess my point is the smaller shops are more for the 1 on 1 service were the larger ones are for the volume of sales....... just my 2 cents
