If you are not within 30 miles as the crow flies of a Bowtech dealer, than you can order from Huntersfriend.com  They set the bow up to your specs, paper tune it and give you a sheet with KE reading, FPS per your setup and a whole lot more.  Free shipping too.

I just ordered and received a Bowtech Assassin from them, it's a great deal althought waiting 2 weeks kinda sux

 

This is incorrect.  You must be further than 100 miles from the nearest dealer to order direct from them.  If you got one and are within this distance I'm sure that the local dealers will have something to say.  This deal only applies to folks that live in the far north and south east corners of Washington.

If you are going to buy a new bow you need to support your local dealers.  Otherwise your local dealers will hand you a nice bill for support.

I was informed (and received a waiver) by Bowtech customer service, if you are not within 30 miles as the crow flies of a dealer you can use Huntersfriend.com  So either you were told something else, or I was.  I would have gladly used a local dealer if I could have found close enough that sold the Bowtech line.  I am not about to fight Seattle/Tacoma traffic to go to Sportco and I did not want to take a ferry or drive around to Belfair to buy my bow.  I have supported my local shops by taking lessons at Nock Point and I have been to Wholesale sports in Federal Way to buy a new release and arrows from Larry.  When I need new arrows or some setup help I will be heading to Wholesale Sports to have him help me out again.

I suggest you know the entire story before trying to chastise someone for not buying local.  Should I have bought a bow I was not comfortable with? Or a from a shop I was not comfortable with, just because that is what they carry and they are local? 

If the local car dealer only sold a Toyota and you wanted a Ford would you just say "Well, I have to support my local dealer"?  Didn't think so...

I watched AT for a while before I purchased new. You mostly see 350's not 340's, and 2010 340's not 2011. If youve done any research at all, the cams were updated in 2011, so thats what I wanted. I decided to buy new because I only buy equipment every few years, so I felt I could spring the extra dough for new. I also wanted the warranty which is only good for the original owner. I was also concerned about getting a bow thats advertised as only being shot 100 times, that was actually shot 1000 times.
I guess what it comes down to is if I gonna part with that much money, I am not gonna let 100 bucks keep me from new, and I am a cheap sob!

I'm not doggin you Coach.  I know most of the dealers in this state and it chaps their ass that guys buy from the internet and when they bring the bow in for work they hear them bitch because of the bill they get.  You got lucky because the rule is 100 miles.  But unless you are a good bow mechanic you will need a bow shop.  For the record also, shops don't make a killing off of bow sales either.  Contrary to the beliefe of some.

I wasn't trying to piss you off.  Just trying to put the correct info out there.  And like you there are a few shops out there that I would not go to either.

I's have to agree with Coach on this one...looks like 30 miles to me.

Yep an old program that hunters holds on to.  And it depends on who you talk to at Bowtech.  The dealer reps will tell you 100 miles and the internet sales guy will tell you what hunters has.  Bowtech don't care they sell bows.  Their rep keeps the shops happy and hunters keeps you happy.  But no one should complain if they get "overcharged" for simple bow maintenance that would be free if they bought the bow from a shop.  Ask Cory at xXx what he thinks about Hunters.

All I am saying is.  Try to support your local bow shop.  They will be there when you need them the most.........hopefully.

Gotcha! Well, I can't really argue that statement. I'm getting back into archery after a 12 year lull and have a buddy who told me about Riverside Archery and the guys up there...much better to deal with than ANY website 

[bone head]

if your buying a new bow you may as well buy a Mathews

I have another buddy who bought a Diamond from Hunters Friend. He told them he wanted it set at a certain weight...65# if I remember correctly. He brought the bow in to show me one day here at work. I drew it and it felt heavier draw weight than my Hoyt A/M at 70#. He took it to a local bow shop to be checked out. They had the thing maxed out at like 74# and the length all wrong, timing was off, etc. That'll be the one and only time that anyone in my circle of friends buys from Hunters Friend I bet. They had that bow all screwed up. I have had nothing but good experiences with the Nock Point here and now Fanatic's experience with xXx leaves no reason at all to buy over the internet.
