    Anyone have recommendations on a good online store to get your arrows (or specifically Beman ICS Hunter 500's) from? I've found a couple (Archery Warehouse, Lancaster Archery), butwondered where everyone else got their's from?

    I'd be looking for where they cut the arrow to length, install fletching, nocks, and inserts for me and they arrive ready to shoot.

    I buy all my arrows at my local shop. He gives me a good deal, has what I want, or order it if he doesn't. Not only that they'll cut them and all that. I know you said online, but keep that option open.

    I try to support my local shop. Hopefully, they'll be there when we need them.

    I've gotten a bunch at Cabelas. Good guys, and at least where I go, they know what they are doing. Cut em, insert em, ready to go.

    Like what was said before, I buy mine from the local shop down the road from me. One of the guys there has built me a few sets of strings and has made a customer for life out of me. They are also the only shop in the area that sells the arrows I like. Also, I don't trust buying stuff online unless I have to.

    I've bought nearly 200 arrows or more from huntersfriend.com. I usually get the raw shafts cause the price is good and finish then for friends and friends of friends. I have seen arrows that they finish and they do a nice job as well.

    I've been ordering mine from the shop I bought my bow from, and they mail them to me (they are 2 hrs away). A new Mathews dealer opened up closer, but they are still 50 min away, so I'll keep going to my old one.

    I have ordered a couple dozen from huntersfriend.com. I am very happy with them. I would buy locally but the shops here are ridiculously overpriced. I'm talking $120 a dozen for the finished xt hunters I shoot, when I can get them for 90 to my door from huntersfriend. I mentioned that to the shop owner where I bought my bow, and he pretty much told me that I can go somewhere else if if don't like it. So I did.

    Arrows

    I get mine from my local Pro Shop.I can get a dozen arrows,cut,fletched,inserted,nocked,cheaper then anyone out there can sell me bare shafts.And if I want any thing else I have him put it on his stock order instead of special order it always comes in cheaper.And there is no better place to sit and tell lies about hunting,fishing,etc.

    I got the same type comment from Archery Unlimited in Prattville AL. I don't shop there... period. I have ordered countless dozens from Bowhunters Superstore in PA. I have only once had one problem and it was fixed... I think it was a new employee.

    If a company isn't courteous, find someone who is. Cabela's has also been great for me and has a painless return/swap policy.

    I either go local or go to cabelas. I give them one of my arrows and they cut exactly the same length. I dont have to worry about screwing up measurements
