this sucks
I really want to buy from a local dealer. I guess I will just have to drive 60 to 100 miles to do it.

The guy that owns my local shop is a nice guy and I don't want to take my business elsewhere, but I just hate to pay an extra 60 bucks for local service. He is the only bow shop in a large enough city and he has everything priced higher than a cat's butt.
I guess I will bite the bullet and pay the extra if I can't find a dealer ( within 70 miles) that has what I want in stock.
If money weren't a factor then I wouldn't have a problem, but on my budget every dollar counts and the 60 bucks extra I would have to pay on the bow might mean 60 dollars in accesories I 'll have to pass on.
I have contacted a couple of on-line dealers and they offered to sell me a bow, but didn't have what I wanted in stock. Now that I know that is not the right thing for them to do, I won't buy off the net.
Maybe I can bluff the guy enough to get him down oh his price
Thanks for all the replies
