re: La. Archery(Pineville) to close

This is exactly why I make it a point to go buy my archery stuff from the shop (Chags).

I don't mind paying a little more because I know when I need something done, it will be done right. And I know that if I have a last minute thing that is needed, they will make it happen.


SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHOP

I try to stay loyal to the local guy, but when I can order a gun from buds or sportsman's guide and have it shipped to him, pay him a $20 transfer fee, and still come out $100 cheaper, $100 is $100.

$100 is different than the $3 more on a pack of broadheads I'm referring to

Sad. Where's your closest Mathews dealer going to be? Maybe you can talk Andrew into getting the line?

My closest authorized Mathews dealer is in a garage in Petaluma, about 45 minute drive from me. He tried to light me up for $1500 for a new rigged out bow a few months ago. At least i can drop by the Lagunitas Brewpub on the way back for some cold beer.

Not sure.

I bought a bow press and do my own work now. Got some crappy work at Bowie done on my Matthews a few years ago. I work too hard for my money. I will buy online and save some serious change and tune the bow myself.

Yep. Man Cave has taken a lot of their business. Go see Spanky, the best bow guy around here or maybe the state

No doubt Amazon is kicking butt and also the larger sporting goods stores online are too. You are going to have to provide a good service to stay in business now. Sad to see La. Archery go. Bought a couple of guns there and I use them to put new strings and cables on my crossbow. I am sure internet has put a hurting on Security Sporting Goods too.

Security Sporting Goods

The CENLA ballers must be keeping them in business because their prices are laughable.

Are prices already reduced?

I dont find Seecurity that high on anything except clothing. The problem with them is the same that La Archery had IMO and that was trying to have a little bit of everything. You never know what they will have in stock or what brands you will find. You can find gym shorts from 1986 and plastic worms you buy by the each,
Toledo Tackle late 80s style

For instance, if you want a nice duck call, you cant buy one in Alexandria (that I know of), but you can find walls of Haydels and Primos everywhere from WalMart to Academy to Security.
