I need to locate a quality bow shop here in Central WA as I prep for the upcoming archery season.  Any recommendations ?

Thanks in Advance

I have always had really good luck with Grizzly archery. Most of my experience is from just purchasing small stuff and arrows, but maybe someone else can chime in about major repairs.

Mike at grizzly archery is a great man. He's honest and doesn't look to sell you things. He's talked me out of a sale before because the product I wants could be bought elsewhere for almost half the price. And he's even taken things out of the package and give it me for nothing. Granted it was only a couple dollars that I paid anyhow, he will NOT do you wrong  :tup:

Great referrals!  I had not shot my Outback in two years and it needs a skilled tuner to make sure all is right.  Still making nice groups but I have done little to it in the 7 years I have owned it other than kill stuff.  I also need new arrows as the current ones are GT Hunter Pros and they currently fall short of the minimums for WA archery.  I also used retractables in MO with success on deer and turkey but I will need to change broad heads as well.  Want to talk to someone up on modern trends as I was comfortable with my former setup but it looks like I need to make some changes to hunt here for deer.

unfortunately you only have one option. unless you want to go to Cabelas.
Fortunately Mike is a great guy with lots of inventory. I do my shopping there also.
tried the shop thing and its not worth the hassles. I dont blame Brandon for getting out of it either. But his shop is missed.
No if ands or Buts just Maybee.

Brandon close up his shop for good? I thought he just relocated a while back?

Mike has a great shop though as has already been mentioned.

Unfortunatly Brandon shut down for good and got a real job.....just too specialized to make a living, but he is still available to do piece work if ya call him.  Otherwise it's cabelas or Grizzly.  Devin helped me out a few weeks ago at Cabelas, so ya got a couple choices.
