Title: good bow shop in Tacoma?
Post by: sylvester on July 05, 2015, 10:22:42 AM: I am looking for a place in Tacoma to take my bow in and have a tune up and talk to them about new arrows. I am fairly new to bow hunting and would like to talk to a good knowledgeable staff.

I have a Matthews outback, I don't know if some shops just focus on certain brands or not...

thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post by: huntingbaldguy on July 24, 2015, 02:52:40 AM: I don't consider Sportco a big box store honestly. We lack a consistent archery shop here, especially one that is a Hoyt dealer. I know Great NW Archery is a good shop, i've talked to Doug, he helped me sort out an issue, but i've tried to go there another 4 times and he is NEVER there. He changes his hours all the time. Now, maybe he has family stuff going on or something, but that's no way to run a business. I wouldn't be nearly as irritated about it if he updated his message when he was gonna only open his shop from 4-6pm... but holy crap it irritates me to go there at 11am and see that sign after calling and getting a message about his 10am to 6pm hours.
