RE: Your Proshop
We're lucky enough to have a few good ones around here now. There was a particular one (opinionated S.O.B) that was the only one close awhile ago that prompted me to learn how to do all of my own work. It's something thats very easily learned and is very rewarding in alot of ways when you can do everything yourself from fixing your own bow , maint. , etc. to cutting and fletching your own arrows.

i quit going there in the late eighties only because i found a place i liked better, i don't live in nj anymore ,but there is always someone somewhere who only cares about the almighty dollar.there are two shops around here both are good and there prices are about the same ,but higher than the catalogs.

Jerseyhunter, it is a small world , He taught the hunter safety course for archery back in 71 thats when I got my first bow license. He gave me very good tips on shooting but problem back then was he had no competition and compounds were just starting to appear so I guess he could charge what he wanted at the time.
