However I am not. There are some things I need to physically see, touch, and try, before I buy it.
I have no idea what Lawrence has in his garage, my comment was more general.
It's actually really funny that you bring up Swamp Donkey. Martin (I think that was his name) was the first one to tell me that I should walk into Sherwood Park Archery, see what I liked, and then let him know so he could bring it in. He offered to beat them by 10%.
I wound up buying a used bow later that year.
Thanks for the reminder.
When all the shops are gone and only Amazon is left, everyone will complain.

Fair point, I too try to only buy from bricks and mortar stores. I only use online as a very last resort if I can't find it in the store. Problem is, people like us are a shrinking percentage. However, Amazon has announced it is opening some mega stores around the U.S. Won't help the individually owned stores, will be as hard on them as Walmart is, but at least bricks and mortar may not die completely.
