I don't know where to send you. Just want to say thank you for your service.

" 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

You can try Doug at Great Northwest Archery in Puyallup.  He sells Hoyt, but I know he'd do you justice.

Yes Lucky Shot is a great place to go, little bit of a drive for you but well worth it. While your there try out their shooting maze up in the timber.

Me too  :yeah:  old dog is very good.  He's polite and is experienced.   

Id say great northwest. He is close to you and does really good work. and you can shoot the range after he sets everything up for only $5 I shoot there about twice a week.

I love the range and all but any questions I have ever asked in the shop were answered shortly quickly and frankly pretty rudely.  He seems very impatient and brief with any inquiry I have ever made.  I open the door and he yells.  What do you need!  I called to see if he had a lh sight and he answers the phone.  What do you need!  Just seems rude and unprofessional if you ask me.  Now I'm sure if I was at more events there and brought him loads of money for gear and such he would have gotten to know me and be politer.  But for a unfamiliar novice bow hunter he might leave a bad taste.    :twocents:
