New Shop in Enumclaw, Rock Creek Archery
« on: May 26, 2012, 04:26:03 PM »
I got an email from my club, Cedar River Bowmen, recently announcing there is a new archery shop in Enumclaw.  I went to check it out yesterday and got to meet the owner who seems like a nice guy.  The shop has a nice indoor range.  Here is a link about the store.

Well after seeing one of my other club members' bows sitting in the shop after being restrung I decided to get new strings myself.  I'll let ya know how it turns out.

I will have to check his shop out soon, I thought some guys on here said he was planning on carrying elite bows. Did he have any in stock or is he only have bow tech and diamond?

What kind of strings does he carry?

I got a call saying my strings are done but I'll probably wait to pick up my bow on Friday so I can hopefully pick up my arrows too.  I'll wait to tell you the price  until I pick up the bow to make sure there are no surprises.  But I can tell you that what I was quoted was significantly cheaper than what I paid for my daughter's Winner's Choice strings that I had put on her bow a couple years ago at Wholesale Sports.

Howdy to buglin4bulls, I haven't been very active at CRB over the past year due to work.  I plan on spending alot more time there starting this coming week.  I need to be ready for Bownanza!

I went in tonight to check it out, nice to have a shop in town.  I'm also a CRB member!  I saw your bow and your arrows, he was finishing them up when I walked in.  Looked good, green zebra right?

Yup my bow was the Alphamax with the green and black string and the arrows with the green zebra vanes and green zebra wraps.  I'll post a pic tomorrow, this turned out awesome.  Denton did a great job!  You weren't the one shooting with Don were you?  I brought my buddy in who is getting a yellow and blue string on his bow.  I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Ok, sorry it took so long to get the pics but here they are.  The lighting wasn't that great for these photos, the green is actually a much more neon green color.  The photos make the green look a little white washed so to speak.  They look really awesome in person and I couldn't be happier.

Since I am moving down there I will probably be frequenting the place quite often.  Especially if the neighbors don't take to kindly to me slinging arrows in the yard.

Your CPXL was rattling in the box when it arrived.  So I just had to open it up and check what was wrong :chuckle:  Sweet!  Sure doesn't look 35" in length.  Had to double check the limbs twice to make sure it was the CPXL.  Fixed the bow supports in the box and secured it with some wads of paper so it didn't happen again.  Was sort of sad to see it go out the door to Denton so fast :'(.  I really wanted to play with it bad!  But I was a good boy >:( dangit!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

just stopped in and ended up spending my money with them.  New sight new peep and tuned up.  He also talked me threw everything he was doing.  He still had time to bs with me. The shop feels like a place you want to go to not have to go to.
