[QUOTE="Clay Target Guy, post: 1666697, member: 68920"] I try my best to support my local pro shops (they have been very good to me over the years, and I feel I have been good to them either by bringing new people to them first hand or by sending people to the via word of mouth). That being said, I do try and buy most of my accessories from them, and I did buy one new bow from them ($1000). The other bow I have I bought used at about 1/2 the price of what they wanted for a new one. I understand profit and overhead very well but I also know that I don't make the kind of money to just pay almost double the price for something (New price was over $1500 and I bought used (6 months old) for $800) just to help them sell a bow that they did not stock in the first place. I have 2 very good pro shops that I deal with all the time and both understand that bows are going to come in their doors that did not come from them and with accessories that did not come from them. I could be wrong but I think they are happy that I am bringing them business and can live with the fact that I buy accessories from them even if I did not buy all my bows from them. [/QUOTE]
