Bass Pro, they are only 10-15 minutes from my house, or I will order online sometimes. Good archery shops are not really close to me, Anahiem about a hour away, or the High Desert (Hesperia) more than a hour away....

I get my bow and arrows from a pro shop. But the rest of my stuff usually from Cabelas, they are 15 minutes from home. The pro shop is about 45 minutes. Convience is the main reason.

Pro shop mostly. But I will buy arrows and other small things from the Internet.

I buy most all my hunting gear from a local pro-shop or outdoor store,because I like thr personal service I receive and if I have a problem they are always willing to help.I will order some accessories online such as sts,but thats because I liked the meanv better than the one at the local shop.I never buy anything but clothes and supplies from the mega stores.

And I understand that completely. Ya know, I didn't really think about all the guys that don't have the luxury of a good pro shop within 15 or 20 minutes of them, I guess I'm spoiled.

Pro shop is my majority, for example my Bow, arrows, case, sight, release, holder,the BLOCK i bought from Pro shop.
other things i bought at cabelas or richardssportinggoods.com becuase
#1 i had cabelas points
or #2 i had gift cards.. which i get for those two exact stores all year around especially holidays.
i got my quiver and broadheads with my gift cards..
arrows i always buy from my pro shop guy.. really cool guy.. and i dont mind spending a few extra bucks, i own my own business too.. I dont like to get ripped off, and know how to shop, but i also understand the little guy needs to survive too.
and also to mention my bow shop guy, that i got my bow from warrentys beyond manufactor as long as i own the equipment.. i got my bow $100 more expensive then they had it at cabelas.. but.. he set me up compleltey... tunes me up, helped me get started and if there ever is a problem, he fixes it.. no charge..
thats his selling point.. buy it from me, and your covered

you know..here is a story.. im Really into my rifles.. and shotguns.. and just starting out with the Archery and im OBSESSED thus far..
but as far as stores.. when i first started out, a few years ago with the hunting i went to local Gun shop #1 and asked some questions.. about calibers, and this and that blah blah and were VERY helpfull, then i went to the next local Gun shop.. asked the same questions and asked to look at there guns.. well they didnt give me the time of day.. i was basically wasting there time.. liek.. hey kid.. whatcha want.. and on top of that i waited like a Dild* for him to finish his converstation with his buddy just so you could show me a gun.. me.. a customer.. anyways i was SOOO turned off.. just so happens i never walked in there again, and have bought 7 guns in 5 years all through the Gun SHop #1 guy that respected me and gave me the time to teach me about the guns and stuff.
bottom line.. respect all potential customers.. dont whatever a guy, or kid.. a few years down the road he could be spending thousands there..

Pro Shop for new bows
Bass Pro for accessories I need quick
AT Classifieds for everything else

Pro shop for equipment and camo from a cheaper source.

I have a Cabela's 20 minutes away and a Gander Mountain 25 minutes away. I also have a pro shop that is 20 minutes away that I am not fond of which is sad because they have a ton of stuff. Maybe if I walked in wearing a "Rackmaster" shirt or covered in head to toe camo I'd be more valued???? We do have a new shop opening near where the Coon Creek event will take place in a week or two that I want to check out but for now I am probably going to work with a pro shop that is 4 1/2 hours away for everything I don't get from Cabela's or Gander.
