Default where to buy a bow?

Would a place like gander mountain have good bows there? if i get one(cause im savin up for one) i dont really wanna buy it off the internet. Or what other stores might have some decent ones for a lower price?

If you want to drive ther is a fine store in Jackson that can set you up with anything. Schupbach's is the name of it and they have alot of traditional and compounds alike for reasonable prices. They have just about anything you would need for hunting. I can't remember where Jenison is but ther shoul be a bow shop somewhere around. I would steer clear of chain stores . Good luck-Jerry

I like to give my business to small bow shops - they'll support down the road.

If Gander Mountain has them yes. Martin and Bear are all quality bows.

If your Gander has bear bows, then go with that. They are good bows and wont break the bank. Personaly I dont care to much for Gander there service after the sale is for SH*%. Down with the big box!
