I started jumping over the hill to Denton at Rock Creek Archery. He flat out knows his stuff and has a quick turn around. I'd recommend him highly.

We get all our stuff done at some place in Belfair. He basically set up shop in his house. He has everything and your in and out in 30 minutes. You can walk out of there with your bow perfectly sighted in and fresh arrows cut. He's got all sorts of bows for sale but is definitley more of a Matthews man. He's got 350+ bulls lining the walls. He's also got pictures of 140-160 blacktails. He straight up knows his stuff and works like an absolute machine. We found out about him because our hunting partner did his legal work. He's the best around.
I cannot agree more! Charles takes good care of us local firefighters. He is more of a Elite guy now which I wish I could sell my Mathews and get one!

I'm in the same boat. Grizzly here in Yakima does an ok job but he is so slow. Usually a month or more turn around on bow work.Denton does great work. Just had my bow tuned up, changed up the arrows and went with a a new, longer stabilizer.

I had been kind of waiting til I had customer visits in the area before making the trip. Then I saw BLRman's post about driving over from Selah, and I said shizz! I only live 45 min away! Hopped in the car and got it done. Much better groups and arrow flight!

I like Grizzly Archery in Yakima. I would not recommend The Nock Point in Mountlake Terrace, ever.
Why not the nock point? I go there all the time and never have a problem.

That's good, I'm glad you haven't had a problem there. Were you buying a bow or spending a ton of money when you went? Their customer service is decent if you're spending a bunch of money or if you're a very regular customer. If not, then they're customer service is terrible IMO. I've been there a few times and was disappointed each time. Several people I know feel the same way about them. And I'm not here solely to bash The Nock Point, but since you asked, that's my opinion. Not a fan of their business is all.

Buy a bow press , build a draw board and learn it yourself. It's not that hard to learn especially with the internet . Once you learn there is no more waiting , excuses and disappointment . There is a lot of satisfaction with doing your own work and then shooting a perfectly tuned bow , something I've never gotten from a pro shop .
:yeah:
I should have charged them as much as I have been scr*wed by a couple of the "Pro" shops mentioned on this thread.

I am not sure if Aaron is still tuning bows over at Hooked on but he used to do a good job with Hoyts back in the day
If you head over to Spokane I would recommend Greg or Zack at Whitetails Plus in Deer Park.

There is a lot of satisfaction with doing your own work and then shooting a perfectly tuned bow , something I've never gotten from a pro shop .Where can you find a reasonably priced press? The shop I have been using installs what you buy from them for free, so a press is a bit of a novelty to me at this point. The looking I have done the presses are the cost of a midline bow, just well beyond what a home user would want? I could be missing something entirely though. I would like to have one, being a mechanic myself I much prefer doing my own work on anything I own, I just cannot justify the pricetag I have been seeing for a press.

I picked up a used EZ press a couple years ago off archerytalk for $150 , turned out the guy was local so no shipping . I've seen a few used one every now and then , but I would have bought new if I hadn't found a used one . It's been worth it to me . The one draw back or good thing depending on who's side you are looking at it is that I do end up working on a lot of my friends bows . And yes , shops will install what you buy for free , but are they doing it right ? If you work on your own bow you will always know .

Doug Hyder is hands down the best for all of your bow work. Hoyt and Matthews dealer. Fully stocked proshop and indoor range.
Lessons and instructions are available for all skill levels with World Champion archer Sean Elza.
Very professional service. I highly recommend this shop.

I've always shot Hoyt and found a Hoyt guy in eastern Oregon that does great work and has same day service out of his small shop. Couldn't be happier to make the drive.
What's his name and number? Currently looking for a good Hoyt guy.
