I'm a little sympothetic to the bow shop pros. Many times they have customers come in with a new bow they just purchaced at Walmart or something, a hand full of accessories and expect the proshop to rig it out and teach em how to use it, Don't get me wrong, I don't buy everything at the bowshop but when it comes time to make a major purchace I feel better spending a few percent more to patronize the shop and they give me great service...Fletch

I know what you mean, I shoot a Hoyt Magnatech and get lots of grief that it's not a top of the line bow and it has a cast rather than machined riser. Well it shoots just fine for me and I don't see enough of a difference to even be really tempted by a new bow (and this coming from an admitted gear junkie)!!
Find a bow you like and learn to shoot it well, that's all that really matters.

I shot competetivley from 1965-1985. I still have three of my recurves, my original Wing prototype compound from 1974 and the last two compounds I bought were a pair of QuadraFlex split-limbs from around 1980(you probably haven't heard of any of them)(PSE was a brand new company back then
Two of the recurves are Bears and the last one is a Palmer/Partners(withBobLee). In other words I haven't spent a dime on archery in 15yrs. I have shelves of championship trophies- couldn't care less- haven't shot league in 20yrs- don't shoot in the shops- I practice in my backyard and bowhunt with my Bear takedown & the Palmer- screw em all- They're just a bunch of shallow people caught up in having the latest toys. get your stick and go hunting- that's what it's all about!
