Nock Point is where I bought my bow and they've serviced it every year free of charge. Recently got a new string and they charged me 20% less than any other shop around. The owner is a little cranky but so am I for that matter, especially if I'm a hunter working on everyone else's bow's during prime time for scouting.
Thank God for Hunting...gives me something to think about at work.

Do you happen to know what kind of strings they used for the replacement?

Fletch setter in rainier wa. Is the only place I'll go for anything. No range, but don't waste your time at the big box store.

I'm on the peninsula and I still make the trip up to Riverside Archery.  It's two hours for me, but I find it completely worth it for work on my Mathews.  Everyone is correct if you need help and they are not super swamped those guys will go out of their way to help.  I grew up with a pro shop a 3 min bicycle ride away, it was family run and when it comes down to it, if they do good work I will choose that over anything else.  The only archery gear that I buy from box stores is broadheads and arrows.  I am going to start doing my own setups so soon it will be bare shafts only.

I don't. It was a pre-stretched string and I'm more than happy with it. Shot about 100 arrows this weekend and they are flying flat and fast. No problem with the string at all.
