I've never used them but Andy at Outdoor Emporium does good work. My brother-in-law uses him(it's my wife's cousin). He knows his *censored*.

Unfortunatley the Nock Point is the only game in town. There is also a shop in Everett that does pretty nice work. Can't remember the name of it though. It is connected to a furniture store. The guys at Nock point are A-Holes. They do nice work, but like I said they are a bunch of A-holes up there. With the way the economy is, hopefully Bill has changed his and his staff's attitudes. JMO though...Good luck.

Take what Timmybob said with a grain of salt the Nock Point is a great shop. Riverside is also very good and that shop in Everett which is Van Winkles well I will stay quiet about them.

 :dunno:  Timmy Ive had noyhing but goodluick and good help from those guys.  WAY more personale than any box store.  Bill is always super nice.  Somtimes Mike comes off a little cranky, but if you talk to him and ask him some questions and establish a base, the guy is super nice and also pretty knowledgable.  The guys at the nock point are not Aholes.  Go there yourself and shoot the indoor range, hang out and observe how Bill helps people.  I will continue to support "the little man"   :twocents:

I've heard good things about the nock point but it sounds like Bill needs to establish a base and relationship with the customer not vise versa.  :dunno: :twocents:

the first time i went in there as a noobie archer i got great service. customer service is what i do...it's my job. i understand fully they might have seen me coming, but the 2nd and 3rd times i went back there, i got the same service and so, it seemed, did all the other customers in there. i'd recommend them to anyone.
Bill and Ken(i think) helped me out the first time i went in there, got my bow dialed in, new arrows, etc. and i was shooting tight groups before i left with a little guidance from Bill.
good stuff.
