Horrible archery shop experience

[Hookeye]

Bow only shop?

Gun AND bow shops understand the "two season" hunter concept.

Take that a little farther............even a traddie at a predominately wheelie shop..........even if he doesn't gun hunt............has friends and or family that might hunt/shoot.

Ya just never know where and when the $ will come from.

So it just makes sense, to treat everybody well.

if you make some $ fine, if you don't but make a friend, that's cool too. Sooner or later being a decent person/shop should pay off.

If not, you still can sleep at night knowing you at least were decent.

S.C. Hunter, was that Hi-Tec or the new place over in Los Alamitos?

Yes sir you got it first guess. Joe is great, the rest not so much.

[Grey Taylor]

I had one less than happy experience when I went in there years ago. The guy acted as if he'd never heard of wood shafts, this after he kept us waiting while he cleaned off a work bench. I've never gone back even to get a tab.

can't blame you one bit.

[Mike Most]

I heard so much about wood shafts, I ordered a doz from Allegheny Mtn (ash spined 55-60), they came in two days, and durn do they shoot straight. (10.83 gpp out of my 58Lb longbow)

(All info gleaned from this site)

Thanks boys and girls...

I always carry a setscrew with me. At the appropriate time, I take it out and drop it on the floor (ground), and announce "who lost the setscrew?".  While they are all examining their mechanical bows, I go quietly about my business.

There's way too many great sponsors here on TG to have to put up with 'service' like you got. Every transaction I have had with our sponsors have been great. Spend your money where it is appreciated, and where they know traditional archery.

Obviously compounds are a totally different animal then Trad bows. I doubt I would go to a motorcycle shop looking for service for my bicycle. If I did, I would not complain about them not be able to help.

[COMPOUNDLESS IN CONCRETE]

I go to a mostly compound shop.  The owners kid shoots trad and he is helpful.  The dad/owner shoots wheel bows but is very helpful and does stock a fair amount of trad gear and bows.  

Another proshop about 30 minutes away, when you mention trad bow to them they look at you like you're inquiring about parts to a bazooka.  No help at all and lots of attitude to boot.  Never go back there.

Pokerdaddy,

Just curious, did they sell you arrows with vanes or feathers?
