PRO SHOP NEEDED (Central WA)
« on: July 01, 2016, 12:47:43 PM »
Hey guys,

I'm looking to get some opinions on a good archery shop in Central WA.  There are none where I live but I do make it to Wenatchee from time to time so possibly Hooked on Toys?  I have a Mathews Z7 I would like to get restrung with Winners Choice stings and other general tuning stuff.  I'm open to driving somewhere else to if the service would be better.  I would love to go check out XXX Archery but 10 hours round trip is a bit much.

Thanks for any input.

Because I think it is due for a new string and I want the best.  Do you have another suggestion?

I think winners choice are fine stings still but not the best like they were before the company sold a few years back.  I was a huge winner's choice fan before they sold I believe quality has gone away since the sale.

I didn't realize they were having quality control issues.....So which ones would you suggest instead?

Kind of a trek but Steve at outdoor emporium in Seattle is a wizard. We take all our bows to him and are never disappointed. Knowledgeable, fast, helpful, can't say enough good things about him

Yeah I'd skip winners choice they are decent but not like they where. Bright strings 60x both do a good job. Where are you located at in central?

Like I said..
I wonder where we could find a local with experience in the area to start up a shop with some shooting lanes? Hmmm.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

It's a matter of if the shop would be supported.   :twocents: the money to open a shop big enough for lanes is around but the locals won't support it. To easy to shoot in your yard or woods.

Denton makes strings.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Sure shot gun and pawn in kittitas are often overlooked. I've seen and heard of them go above and beyond for non locals when I lived in eburg.

I'm looking for a place to take my bow too, I use to take my bow to Hooked on toys but it always took a while to get it back.

I am also in central WA looking for a pro shop.  I was hoping to find a shop I could also shoot at so if adjustment needs done can do it all at once.  Iam seeing that probably isn't one. How about around cour d'Alene?  It's a lot close than any where on the west side.
