Can you go to BPS and ask "is it true what I heard about x location"? Local shops provide a lot more than just what you purchase, if you show some loyalty and get to know them. I have learned a ton over the years just from shooting the chit while a spool was being filled or stopping in during the off season.
I hit BPS when it first opened and their prices aren't any cheaper than local shops for most items. Sluggos and Hogeys were cheaper at Mikes and RT.
I hate the fact that BPS now sells Van Staal.....
