I took my bow to a local archery shop and was less than impressed after I left. I hate when this happens because it really makes me not want to go back. Unfortunately I felt like the young guys behind the counter were more interested in talking hunting stories and drama then working on bows and making sure it was done right.
I went in and asked for two things...
1) A new site tape (adjusted the draw from 28.5 to 28) and changed the arrow
2) To put on a new d loop.
Unfortunately I walked away with a string loop that was gigantic and a site tape that was completely off. I'm sure the owner and a few guys of the bow shop know their stuff and this wouldn't have been the same outcome; but what do you do when you turn your bow over and know that the outcome is not going to be good.
I imagine this might be the case with several shops (as it is with restaurants... a server can give crappy service but that doesn't mean all the servers suck and the owner would do the same).
That said, when you have a shop working on your bow do you ask for someone specific (who is that...I need a good tech I trust to look at a few things)? Do I just need to get to the point of doing everything on my own?
