I ordered through bowhunters whorehouse a little back in the day. I even bought some arrows off of camofire.com a couple years ago. If the proshop is just ridiculously higher in price it's difficult not to buy online. But I always enjoyed going into Trophy Archery and getting guidance, advice and service for just a little more so I started using the proshops for many of my needs. I'm sure buying online is great. You can do it from home, work or on your mobile device. Never see the face of another person. Electronic transfer of monies and a package on the front door step a few days later. Until you have a problem. Then folks run to the proshop and want personal service, with a smile, for a little or nothing. They don't support the proshop and build a business relationship with them then want to be treated like gold just because they suddenly burst through their door with their once in a while issues. If you live a long way from a proshop or archery service center I can see it. But just because you save a few bucks here and there it's not really worth it to me. I would rather pay a few dollars more for a rest, have it installed on my bow correctly at the proshop. A few practice points, fletchings or tube of glue may cost a little more there, but picking it up while there and spending an extra 75 cents for it does more for keeping that relationship working and those doors open so when I do NEED them, hopefully I have already laid the foundation for the response everyone hopes for.
Okay, rant over. Now go kill something. I am.
