How does that work with what brands you use? Why don't we see dealers with all brands so we can try them out side by side?

930 Battersby ave . I know he will also carry limbsaver aswell as bowtech for now . he doe's work on all brands however and works on my hoyts and qwest g5 bows . He makes great strings and wont put you into the wrong set up just to blow you out the door. he said he will be open seven days a week from 9-9 to earn your buisness . he has ten indoor bails for shooting aswell.

a lot of the bow manufactures have no contest contracts with each other. if you pick mathews you might not be able to sell hoyt also because they have a deal where you cant have a hoyt dealer with in so many miles of a mathews dealer. thats why most stores carry a few brands that dont have that contract with each other.
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

This is great to hear.  King and Pierce county needs a good Bowtech dealer.  Hopefully they will provided better customer service than the existing BT dealers in the area.

Life saving in an archery shop - That's Crazy!!!  Have him send me a PM or get permission for you to PM me with his shipping address.  I'll send some free goodies to help him getting started.  Wishing him the best of luck.

we stoped by his shop on sat was not impressed, but he looked to be still in the works. i think he needs to put more signs out to alert every one that he is there. i will try to go back again in a few months. he does need to get more product in his shop. i wish him the best and hope he does well. but until it is a archery shop i will continue to go to GNW archery. no offence. i do agree if he can he does need to carry a bigger selection of bows i think it will help him make more sells.  :)

It takes time to get set up ...most guys start out small to see how it will go then slowly increase what they are selling  :twocents:

I know multiple shops that carry both hoyt and Mathews.  Riverside has hoyt Mathews pse and Martin.   For a bow shop just to have one bow manufacturer in his shop is not good.  I hope him the best and will stop in and check it out when I'm down.

 I know it takes a ton of money to put product on the shelves , and he is working on that . It's a right now world and there is so much diversity in product . I do believe that what he carrys will be good stuff . I know that all the bow work he has done for me has been top notch work. If he takes care of the custumers like I've told him he should do ok .

I'll take a shop light on bow selection and heavy on accessories any day over the reverse. 

Hoyt and Mathews are a nightmare to deal with as a start up with limited cash.  Hard to make much money with them when everything is perfect.  Limit your purchasing power and that $25,000 worth of stock yeilds about $2,500 in profit.  Hard to pay the rent living that way.

Hope he has a solid business plan!  And includes at least 15% in unexpected expenses.

What about Elite Archery bows?

Elite has been making some real good decisions as of late.  With a new facility, new equipment and new direction I would feel very good about adding this line if it was my shop.  They don't really offer anything that Bowtech doesn't.  But it should be a nice direction to add another basket for keeping safe eggs.  Their start up plans are very attractive as well.

 We were thrilled to find out about a new archery shop opening up - and Enumclaw is  extremely close to us!
 So we decided to swing by on Sunday, to get some help with my bow ( it wasn't shooting well at all- I thought it was me, but Hubby thought it was the bow)
Well Denton quickly  picked up on  some pretty  big things that were wrong with my bow set-up ( set up by the dealer that I had purchased my Heartbreaker from)

It's true he didn't have alot on the shelf- but it takes time to get things going. I'd rather have someone with the knowledge and interest  work on my equipment/ advise me than have a  bunch of stuff on a shelf--
but I did buy  a release there - so  I guess it's important to have some things to buy ;)
 I plan on doing my part to help support him- I'm  so tired of kids working on my bow, or other shops charging an arm and a leg, but not really giving a rip.


anyway , all that to say that i was very pleased with  the customer service at Rock Creek archery-- thanks DB!

PS
My bow feels like a totally different/better bow. And thank you for the nice small release, it does fit my  hand a lot better.

Susie
