im in the same boat, ive been to the 3 shops locally within an hour at one time or another had them work on my bows and not had good results. I bought a bow from one place and brought a trophy taker smackdown for them to put on, the kid at the counter had to youtube how to install one and I ended up doing more of the install than him, shot ok at 20 but when I got home and shot longer it was porposing at 40, brought it to another shop they "fixed it" seemed ok at 20 but when I shot 40 at home now it was fishtailing horribly, brought it back to them they said it was good shot at 20 again in the shop seemed fine but when I got home it was porposing again, ended up sending that one to Lancaster to have them tune it, and they said the rest wasn't installed properly and the center shot was way off and couldn't believe no one at the other shops caught this. I went to a local string maker who used to own a shop to set up a new bow he never put it in the press or draw board I asked if he needed to but he said hes done so many its not necessary but then said it was his first hoyt rx1, he also put a new rest on my elite, well the hoyt's qad cord tied into the string the serving let go and its was sliding on every shot and the vertical screw adjustment on the elite wasn't tight and after a dozen shots I was putting them in the dirt, so god damned frustrating, then I met a dude brenden on here went to his basement bowshop he tinkered with the hoyt and before I knew it I was shooting the best I ever have, ive never been so confident in my rig. before I was thinking about getting a press and everything now ive decided when I get back from Idaho in the end of September its going to be my first purchase.
