Now you can have the kid from camping run over and help you if they can find him.

Now there's a new shop in Enumclaw called Rock Creek Archery and the customer service there so far is pretty good.

I bought a Drenalin from Joe 7 years ago & tried to have it tuned up & repaired twice in his shop.   I have to tell you that it was the worst work ever and doubt I could get any worse quality of service and lack of service any where else I go.    I took it to a different shop and got it fixed right up. Sportco  camping kid may do better from my experience.

I hope he does well, but I prefer my Mathew's over the Bow Techs, nothing wrong with a BT btw, just my personal fit.  Hope he expands!

i take my stuff to Doug at great NW any way even though rainier was closer so it isn't gonna hurt me at all. customer service doesn't get much better then what you get with Doug in my opinion.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

I have known Joe since he worked at Gun n Bow in '87.
I bought three bows at Northwest Archery in Burien at first. Joe disappeared and ended up finding him in Southhill a few years later. I have purchased Five bows from him in the last 16 years. I have never been treated badly, nor have I seen anyone treated badly.
About 10 years ago some *censored* propped my bow in front of my front tire of my truck instead of pitting it inside the truck. I asked about where it was after I drove off. You can guess what happened to the bow.
I ran to Rainier archery on the opening day of elk season. I just happened to catch Joe there, closed, but getting some broadheads. He told me how to claim the loss on my homeowners insurance, how to get the paperwork filled out, and calm me down. I had a big trip coming up the next day. All I wanted was a cheap bow, hopefully a used one I could get on consignment. He sete up with a Matthews, loaded, arrows, broadheads and all. And he let me walk out the door with it on honor that I would pay him back when the insurance money came in. Now I am no close friend of Joe, just a customer, and he went out of his way to set me up. He has never taken advantage of me or anyone that I have ever seen.
I have heard of a lot of complaints at the ranges about him but never experienced anything like what they or any of you have described.
I heard one lady birch about him because some kid bought a set up from Joe and was having problems at the range. "Frickin Joe, sells everybody garbage," she said in a NYC accent. Yeah, I was at the ship earlier that day when the kid bought the set up. The kid wanted anything for $200, just so he could shoot. The arrows were too long, different kinds, and the bow was an old Bear clunker. Joe threw the arrows in for free and the kid got what he wanted. Apparently not what Bronx woman wanted.
I was sorry to see his shop close. I didn't realize he was closing. If he opens up, I will stay a loyal customer.
I went to GNW archery twice. I met the guy at an Iron Amos shoot, I believe. Both times I went in, and I was the only one in there(this was on River Road) he never acknowledgedy presence.
