I have 1 here near me in NJ 2 miles from my house. Then 1 other shop advertises under archery in the phone book, but it is a sport's shop. Never been there, never heard of it until now, but I do not think it is an archery only shop.
The one here that is 2 miles from my house, I went there 3 times and every time, it was like I walked into a private club and I did not have a membership card. All conversation stops... the silence is very awkward, and the employee or owner says... are you looking for something? All I needed that particular day was a new cable slide, and the guy actually says to me "why don't you go to Dicks sporting goods, they have those".
Really weird! I have spoken to some other guys who have had similar experiences there... and actually at thebutcher shop/check station I use, I have heard many guys complaining of that shop. I just don't get it.
You would think the owner would really want to welcome new customers and build a better business.
Sorry for the rant.

What a shame too.... just 2 short miles from my house.

I just did that Tuesday, actually. Here in po dunk Ohio, I found a grand total of 1 within 100 miles.....Pathetic.

Back in the great state of Missouri, I can think of at least 7 within that same radius.
