I'd be interested to know which Chiltern it refers to. The one in the West Midlands apparently carries next to no stock, even arrows.

Chilterns in aston clinton has been awful in my last four experiences of it.

Staff - ok to talk to but contradict each other and quite often I overhear them giving what is in my opinion bum advice. Only one shop guy i trust 100% thats Stan.

Stock - a joke, went to buy some acc's 3-04 680's i believe, they had none.....
Order said arrows was told easton order due in by next saturday........

Found out the following weekend they'd been ordered that friday.........not due till wednesday......phoned wednesday.........Stan says "in reality were expecting them next week".......three weeks with only six acc's in my box....that was enough, phoned merlin got 'em next day......

Further conversation with stan reveals the "management" wait till they have enough arrow orders to get the biggest discount from easton.

I also went with a senior club member to order some arrows for a junior......and visited repeatedly(me twice and hm twice) to pick them up (ally eastons which were in stock) and everytime they had an excuse for not having made them.

When said juniors father went to the shop they only gave him 7 arrows....???

Please Please Please Chiltern sort it out

Bowsports

HA HA HAAAAA

I`ve only used bowsports once

All I needed were a dozen 27.5 inch Easton lightspeeds and the associated bits, They sent me a dozen at full length a extra set of nocks as they failed to tell me their shafts came nocked I had the wrong points and a random number of fletchings, But they were in the right colours.


Never again

To keep it fair and give all archery retailers a mention I've added Quicks and Ten Ring Archery. Anyone want to add anymore?

My Beloved Poll

Thanks Dave for adding the extra items to the Poll, it certainly is an interesting one and there are some shops out there Ive never heard of.

Thanks

Chiltern

Chiltern Archery is pretty much the same company, I think they have four perhaps five branches.

I was at the Midland shop today...bought a 3D target.

They have a lot of 'own brand' type stuff and are more inclined towards the recurve target archer. But I did get to have a look at a PSE MOJO

Nice Bow.

Um, yes. I'm aware one company owns all the shops; I was just wondering which branch people were referring too.
