I've tried 3 shops in my area & I will make the 1hr drive to Bowzone. The other 2 are the ones with young guy setting up the bow. They both talk a good talk, you can tell that they've done their home work. Read all the books & searched everything on the net. But now if that can compare to experience. Now Bowzone is the let shop that I'll use, it's worth the hour drive, cause I now my stuff will be right.
I had a unfortunate incident of dropping my darton bow from the tree. It landed on a pile of rocks below the tree and exploded. This was in western NY. by the finger lakes. A trip 15 miles into town for internet service to find a local Darton dealer. Found one called them up and explained the situation. They said yes they could fix it. We drove 90 miles to the shop for a repair. Upon arrival we were told that they had actually stopped dealing with darton a couple yrs earlier. SHUDA LEFT RIGHT THEN. 2 hrs later their tech advised me that he thought he had it fixed. Had me fire it 5 times on their range. 75 dollar repair charge. We left, 90 miles back to camp. Got up in the morning in the dark and began to walk to the stand. I'm walking in the dark and i hear twaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnngggggggggg. The bow exploded again while just walking with it. I called the shop to tell them I would pickup my refund on my way home and was told I musta done something to it and there would be no refund. I wish i could remember the name of the shop so i could trash them here. It was somewhere between horse heads and binghampton NY.
I shot trad gear for 30 years and avoided all "pro shops" by learning to make my own strings and other gear. Back in 2010 my draw shoulder started giving me issues and the result was going back to a compound. I was very forunate that my nephew is very mechanically inclined and begun to to his own work with a bow press and vice. He eventually began doing tuning work on the side in is "man cave", which I was able to observe and learn from. Sadly, he took a different job and recently moved to an ajoining state so I am in the process of buying my own bow press and learning to do my own work. There are many good online sources and Youtube videos to learn, with no one to blame for a mess up but myself. Too many horror stories......such as the ones above.....that keep me from trusting my prized bows with a bunch of hacks. Some shops may have talented and caring techs, but many do not and I will not take the chance with my bows.
Again, I can't say enough about how helpful Chris from Lancaster Archery has been in making everything right. They went above and beyond, and I'll make sure to continue doing business with them in the future! Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
