It is $4 down at the local shop to have the loop installed. That includes the material and the expertise to install it.

And how much would you have spent on gas to get there? Its obvious its out of the way, otherwise you would have went there. $5 really isnt very much for anything. Bow shops have to make their living also.

If you don't like paying someone to work on your bow, then you better start doing your own work!

The shops I go to charge for just about anything you ask them to do unless you bought your bow there. I never complain about what they charge. I bought an Arizona fletcher that was $20 higher than at Academy. Sometimes I buy at other places that are cheaper but also realize I appreciate having a pro shop around and, just as any business, must make a profit to stay in business. If there is something I don't want to pay for, like Arthur said, I will learn to do it myself.

A 3-pack of Loops at Academy Sports cost $0.84.

The good, thick loops, too.



It's very easy to install - it would be wise to learn.

THAT IS IT

Do yourself a favor and learn to tie the loop. It's really not hard to do and will save you money. Besides, if that loop comes off while you're in the field or on a trip you can save yourself alot of aggrevation.

Wow, Gripe over $5.00. What do you do for a living, have you had a plumber in your house recently? If it took him 5 min to install, not inc. the cost of the loop, he makes $60.00 an hour,It's not all that much when you tally in rent, ins. health care.
I run a small construction buisness, and when my mechanic inspects my trucks and they need a bulb for a brake light, he charges for it! Last year I spent over 12,000.00 with him. BUT, when I need him HE'S THERE! Guess I'm tryin to say look @ the big picture.
