It's not the insistance that you have to buy them it's the problem after you have shot them that dealers face. We all like the idea of try before you buy but on many occassions after trying the limbs and rejecting them it can be difficult for the dealer to re sell as although they may have only shot 50 or so arrows the tell tail string marks and even with protective tape the odd scratch on the pocket end renders them second hand to many archers and clammering for a discount. |
I can understand the dealers' attitudes, to some extent. If I were saying that I wanted to play around with some limbs, that's one thing. But when I tell them that I want to buy some limbs, but insist on trying them first...
The problem from the consumer's point of view is that limbs aren't all the same. If you don't try
the pair you're going to buy, you can't tell that they are going to work for you. Turns it into a lottery. So you buy some limbs without trying, and find they aren't quite right. Slightly over or under weight. Stick a little in your riser. What do you do then?
