i think its important to buy from your local proshops, but its the proshops responsibility to stock what players need. just about 90% of the time a customer can buy online quicker and cheeper than getting a proshop to order that same part in.

of course proshops cant stock everything under the sun, but if they do the research they can assess what needs to be stocked. the majority of players around here are shooting Tippmans, Dyes and Egos. stocking parts kits and accessories for those guns is a solid start.
