Yes I do that as well, but I still have a favorite shop. Shopping arround is the best way.

Need to add a none of these above option, as the shop I use the most isn't there, and neither is Quicks.

I've had dealings with Alt, Aardvark, Bowsports, Chiltern & Merlin and have been happy with the service I've had from each.

If I were pushed to deal with one exclusively, it would be with Chiltern (beacuase they're my local-non-quicks) shop, and they are nice fellas. Failing that Aardvark - only so I could call LMP

I voted for Bowsports, but only because I have used them once and I have not used any of the others.
I have bought a few bits from Quicks, but most of my equipment has come from Perris, who are local to me, but also have an on-line shop.
The have provided an excellent one-to-one service, every time.

WL Ranking: '07 2nd Div. 3rd Place (Rec.)
SL Ranking: '07 1st Div. 2nd Place (Rec.)

I too can't really vote, since Centreshot are not included. They are very local to me which is a luxury. I also think their prices are competitive, and the service is good

This poll needs amending

I'd vote for two - Centreshot and Wales Archery in Crick. I haven't been down to Wales for a while now as Centreshot is very good and close, but all my experiences with Graham, Barbara et al were good ones.

Carol Edwards was very helpful also when I bought some wooden arrows from her for my longbow a few years ago.
