Both. I take it to the pro shop, where I do all of my own work....it's a beautiful thing, working in a pro shop.

I take it to a proshop, called Bowie Outfitters. It's expensive as all get out, but anything that requires a bowpress, I am clueless!

I do all of my own work and the majority of the work on bows belonging to friends, family, and a few of my more loyal customers. I've recently acquired a press and am in the process of building my basement shop. With 10 yards to spare in the rec room, I can even paper tune inside.
All I need to buy at this point is a chronograph and a "professional" arrow saw.

I've slowly been making the transition to being independant. I purchased a press a couple of years ago as well a a fletching jig. I've added an arrow saw, a cresting motor, bow vise, etc. I very much enjoy working on my own gear and I'm always trying to learn more.

I used to take my bow to A-Z Sportshop in Marshfield Wi untill it burned down. Dave still does some work on some bows out of his new home in Arpin but I havent been out there yet. I know take my stuff to All Seasons Sport and Archery right in Neillsville. Although I dont care too much about Mike as a person I have to admit hes a damned good dealer and tech. Heres to you Mike.
