the guy i go to is at AS&J ARCHERY in yakima,wa he is the one that set my bow up. he great, since i bought my bow from him he doesnt charge me for range use. he keeps all my bow specs in his computer and all i have to do is tell him what i need, he looks up the specs and gets it done for me.

theres a new archery shop in Chehalis WA called Lost Creek archery I think, it has up to a 30 yard in door shooting range and up to 80 yards outside, it is really nice, best one I have seen. Although there is one other one in town, that is good also no shooting range there

Just found out that KODIAK Archrey East of Spokane will be closed after Sept.  Sorry to see Tony close up as it is the best shop in the area in my opinion.  Very friendly and hepful.  Too Bad!!!!

I think whatever shop, store, or website, a person chooses to find their archery equipment, they should understand what they are getting, its hilarious when people say that pro shops are charging too much (like spokane valley archers, who I think are great), and would rather go to a box store that has bronze statues that cost more than most little proshops inventory, then bring their equipment to that little shop and pay whatever it takes to set that equipment set up properly. ANYWAY!!

I try to avoid bow shops.  No one wants to take the time to set the bow up right any more.  I've tried most shops around western washington.  None will take the time to set up a bow.  Just get it to shoot a bullet hole through paper(usually with their arrow)  then send you down the road.

I will let only one guy touch my bow.  That's KC at the sportsmans in federal way.  That kid is good.  I don't know how he is with people that aren't real savy in archery, but he sure did good by me and my buddies.  I live up by mt rainier.  So I have to drive a long ways to get to his store.  Obviously I drive by several other shops along the way that won't get my business.

The only shop that I haven't tried that I might is Dougs shop on shaw road.  I work with his shop techs son.  I might give him a shot.  Being much closer.  It would be nice to have a back up plan.  I have talked with Jamie from Olympic and he sounds like he would be a good guy to let work on a bow.  I personally haven't been there, but one buddy bought a bow there last year and his work looked pretty good.  His bow shoots great as well. 

I'm not going to say that some of the other shops around the area could of hired a guy that cares about the customer, but I just haven't seen it yet. 

If you guys run across a shop that is worth a darn.  Please share.

Is Stan Remington still running his shop Whitetail Plus in Deerpark?

Bought my Darton bow from him, he's always treated me good. Address is S. 506 Main Street Deer Park. (509) 276-5180

Bear, I wouldn't cross your fingers for any kind of realy archery techs at Cabelas. Its our understanding that they will in fact have an archery department, but they won't have a range or a service area for archery equipment.

Just saw the Cabela's being reported on the news here in Spokane and they said they plan to open November 9th and one part of the coverage was about their indoor range and shop.

Does  the  same  2  old  70+ year old people own that riverside archery??

Isn't there a shop down around Des Moines... maybe on Pacific Highway,  that has a good reputation?  Don't even know if it's there anymore.

There's a shop near Spokane (in Deer Park) that supposed to be pretty good.  I for the life of me can't remember the name.  I have some buddies who live on the N. side of Spokane that swear by the place though.

SVA (Spokane Valley Archery) is probably my least favorite shop. Unless you're in there dropping a grand, the employees don't care to give you the time of day

While there is some truth to this I also know that the some of the best bow hunters in Spokane and N. Idaho think very highly of these guys.  If you're a total neophyte going in there in mid August and wan to shoot the *censored* about all the bows under 300 bucks they probably are going to be less than welcoming.   However, what they lack in personal care they generally make of for in expertise, selection, services offered, and amenities.... like an indoor range, outdoor range, and full 3D course.
