Recommended bow shops in Tri-Cities?
« on: September 13, 2010, 06:47:55 PM »
Since it is official that I am now moving to the Tri-Cities, what bow shops do you recommend for helping a newbie out.  I will be looking to find a bow I like immediately after the dust settles from the move (which is in 2 weeks :o ).  So who has the best customer service, and most patience to help a noob?   :)

I got my Martin Firecat and Moab from Ranch and home in Kennewick, John was the guy who set me up.

wholesale sports in Kennewick has a good staff.

drive to Yakima, AS & J archery.

most of the help in tri-cities is inexperienced, hot-headed, etc.

we had a great shop but it closed down a few years ago.

Come to Walla Walla and visit Steves' Archery. He is a great guy and he will help you out.

45-50 min  not far and a nice dive once you get past the smell of Boise Cascade.

ranch and home is good in the tri cities. just get one of the older guys that work there to do your stuff. some of the younger guys are not as trained as i would like to see. can put in string loops and maybe a peep. as&j is a good shop as well as steves in walla walla. my grandmother is friends with steves wife. i have been in his shop 3 times. has always been very nice! even though he probably dosen't remember me :chuckle:

Ranch and Home. See John. As long as he stays there it will be a good shop.Young kids are starting to learn. They also have a 20yd indoor range. Colyak Bowhunters have a range in Richland. Upper portion is open to non-members. Good out to 60yds.
