The shop near me charges $60.00 per hour for labor with a $20.00 minimum. Just wondering if this is a fair price?

Depends on what he can do in an hour. Have you considered his overhead and experience.. shoot I would go broke on 60 dollars an hour. My overhead is over a million dollars a year, but then again, I don't own a bow shop.. As a contractor, I would love to pay 60.00 for an electrician or plumber...

If the bow is bought from me I will set it up for free. If not, I charge accordingly. If they purchase the onlythe accessories from me I charge half the labor rate.
Go purchase a starter for your car and ask them to put it on for free or even at half the labor rate. They will laugh in your face.
It really amazes me how many people expect to get free labor in a pro shop and/ or gun shop.
Just like in any other profession pro shop/ gun shopowners and techs offer a skilled service that took them years and a lot of money to learn to to properly and safely. Pay them accordingly or pay to learn to do it yourself.
