I've tried several bow shops over the years and finding one that really puts some effort into quality workman ship has been tough. I finally took it into my own hands, I bought a press and did a ton of reading. It really isn't to tough to do your own work and you know what your going to get. It also adds another aspect to the sport. I will never go back to a shop for work again. I would recommend you give it a shot, it is kind of rewarding when you do all your own work and seal the deal during huning season.
I do however miss the BS sessions at the local shops but when it comes to quality work most of my experience with the owners has been just that BS.
