I'm in the same boat. Grizzly here in Yakima does an ok job but he is so slow. Usually a month or more turn around on bow work.I started jumping over the hill to Denton at Rock Creek Archery. He flat out knows his stuff and has a quick turn around. I'd recommend him highly.
Quote from: justyhntr on July 27, 2016, 01:28:52 PMBuy a bow press , build a draw board and learn it yourself. It's not that hard to learn especially with the internet . Once you learn there is no more waiting , excuses and disappointment . There is a lot of satisfaction with doing your own work and then shooting a perfectly tuned bow , something I've never gotten from a pro shop . Where can you find a reasonably priced press? The shop I have been using installs what you buy from them for free, so a press is a bit of a novelty to me at this point. The looking I have done the presses are the cost of a midline bow, just well beyond what a home user would want? I could be missing something entirely though. I would like to have one, being a mechanic myself I much prefer doing my own work on anything I own, I just cannot justify the pricetag I have been seeing for a press.I picked up a used EZ press a couple years ago off archerytalk for $150 , turned out the guy was local so no shipping . I've seen a few used one every now and then , but I would have bought new if I hadn't found a used one . It's been worth it to me . The one draw back or good thing depending on who's side you are looking at it is that I do end up working on a lot of my friends bows . And yes , shops will install what you buy for free , but are they doing it right ? If you work on your own bow you will always know .

Hope on the Horizon in Granite Falls. Hands down!
I've always shot Hoyt and found a Hoyt guy in eastern Oregon that does great work and has same day service out of his small shop. Couldn't be happier to make the drive.
