Hi /r/Archery, so back in early april I ordered a Blackfoot Bearpaw bow from The Longbow Shop UK in #40. I have still yet to receive anything.
Over the course of these nearly 5 months, I've asked for 5 updates. On average it takes 2/3 days for an email reply and i've basically gotten the runaround everytime saying that the bow is being custom made and requires time. But it's been five months. I was told originally it would take 8-10 weeks (so late June at the latest) and the last email had said mid-late august (emailed in mid JULY) for shipping at the latest.
Today, on Aug 30, I get an email from asking where my bow is last Friday. All it says is, "i've been on vacation, ask Pip" and an email to someone at bickerstaff bows.
Honestly, I'm having a hard time even wanting to give my money at this point with how unclear they've been through everything and I am worried if there is a problem, shipping will be a royal pain (as im in the states). The whole reason I bought from them in the first place was because they advertised they had the bow at the # but then some days after I ordered, they emailed saying they didn't. I get COVID makes everything a pain in the ass but i've been given the runaround so many times I'm just angry at them now.
If you were me, would you stick through the order, or just cancel (which i've tried to do twice and theyve managed to somehow get information on my bow's location the two times i've asked) and look for something else?]
Edit: Also, anyone have any recommendations for an American Longbow/flatbow in the $200-$300 range? Since it seems like trying to get a Blackfoot is a failure.
