Anyone here have any experience with Pro Carbon/Flashco of Montrose, CO?
They seem to have some great prices on carbon shaft arrows but I've never heard of them and the website is somewhat amateurish. I'd feel better ordering from them if I knew anyone else on the board had done business with them.

I was stupid enough to order one from them and what they sent to me was a cheap plastic BB toy gun like this: http://www.amazon.com/Double-Eagle-S.../dp/B004BD37D4 - a $8.47 value. [Rant1]
On their phone line they just had an answering machine (bad sign) telling disappointed customers to just send the stuff back for a full refund. [blah-blah]
In my case they accepted the return parcel but did not give me any refund in due time - I had to contact the credit card company for a chargeback due to fraudulent merchandize. This is still in progress. [dammit]
If this pattern of behaviour happens to apply to other parts of their business, too, CAVEAT EMPTOR - BUYER BEWARE !
My dad told me about people, once a FRAUD, always a FRAUD !
For another point of view just google "Flashco movie prop gun fraud", pick the AK47 files, and see this FRAUD now goes on for at least 10 years, and they are still in business.
Shame on them, and shame on the legal system of this country !
... just look at this thread: http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1894233
Seems they use the high quality advertised / low quality crap sent scam for their arrows, too.
Thanks for the feedback. My net searches didn't find that discussion on Archery Talk but that was exactly what I was looking for. Not only deleting those guys from my bookmarks, I'm deleting them out of my browsing history. :D
