Title: Rental Range?
Post by: SeatoSummit88 on October 11, 2017, 09:44:16 AM: Hey Everyone,

My uncles are coming into Seattle for a visit in January. They have not shot bows in around 7 years and are used to shooting long bows back home in Texas. I would like to take them out and fling some arrows along their side. Is there a place within an hour of Bothell where you can get sized for a bow and where they will rent you that equipment and shoot? I have no experience with this, but thought it would be something enjoyable to do together.

Thank you

Post by: SeatoSummit88 on October 11, 2017, 12:39:07 PM: I also meant more-so, are there other places people know of that might accommodate compound rentals; based on previous experience/recommendations. I can call and ask the particulars, but to do a general online search sometimes is hard to navigate toward a particular place. Sometimes I can't find "shops/things/answers" online, however after having someone who provides the name of a location/item, I can type that it and it comes up.

You could check with Denton at Rock Creek Archery but that's in Enumclaw which is more than an hour drive from Bothell. There's also a place up near Bellingham or Wooley I think, but again, more than an hour's drive. Can't remember what that shop is called.

I appreciate your feedback
