Well, the sun is setting on my second full season of Bowhunting and, all in all it was good season, even though I couldn't hunt the last week of it. Instead of hunting I found myself at SouthEastern Outdoors Archery (537 Old Quarry Rd Bassett, VA 24055 (1-276-638-4698)) which by the way, is a great and capable shop, getting the limbs replaced on my '07 Bear Code. The owner of SouthEastern Outdoors , Mr. John Huntley, has seen and done it all in his 43 years of operation and he has a wonderful way about him that makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend him if your'e ever in the area. I had heard other archer's speak of backup bows but, I never put much stock in the notion that I might someday need one. Well, I believe in being prepared and, this incident has shown me the value of having a good bow to fall back on just in case. The good people at Bear Archery had my free repalcement limbs delivered to SouthEastern Outdoors within 3 days of reporting my broken limbs and, I was shooting my bow again on the fourth day. If I had any doubts about Bear Archery's commitment to great customer service and being committed to their product, they were quickly disspelled by their quick response to helping me get my bow repaired and, for that I am forever grateful. This whole experience has taught me 3 things. First, I have a great company behind my bow. Secondly, support the local archery shop, the men and women who work in them have a vast wealth of knowledge and expertise that you can't find in the big retail chains. Lastly, have a backup bow. You never know when your'e best bow will become unshootable. I'll be getting mine from Bear Archery and I just might let Mr. Huntley set it up for me.
