GARBAGE!!

Kidding......I went in once recently to chat with D-Rock and say hello. Looks like they have a small selection of bows but just about anything and everything else you need. They have a good looking "pro-shop" that you can tell is run by archers who hunt, not just somebody sitting behind a desk. For my needs this is now my first stop shop.

Overall I think you are going to get the best service there compared to any other "box" store in the general area. Maybe a decent experience up north at Wholesale Sports but I don't have any exp with the archery up there. I just know that a shop like that will be able to treat you better in general.

The Nock Point relocated...just off 99 south a little ways. I think it's south anyway of where they were. I've been to the new shop 1 time and they were closed. Much bigger new shop.

p.s. I have -0- experience with Van Winkle's but if D-Rock works there or owns it or something, then I'll be looking into it for sure.

I'm sure D-Rock will chime in when he sees the thread. I think he fills in when needed.

My neighbor aka malardman literally just said the other day that he will never  go to vanwinkles again and all his businees is now going to hooked on toys.

He bought a used hoyt bow and stabilizer at van winkles and the stabilizer wasnt working well with the bow so be brought it back and they gave him a hard time about returns....

But i've never been so i just going off what he said...

I went a few times and didn't find them to be overly helpful.

those timberhawk packs they have are pretty sweet. They never fit me well enough to get one but we did get one for the father in law(smdave) and he loves it.
