Title: Riverside Archery in Mt. Vernon
Post by: WAnoob on September 11, 2018, 06:00:35 PM: Anyone have experience with these guys, was looking to go down next week to get fitted for a bow but most likely find a used on online. This is my first bow, been a rifle hunter for many years.

Thanks!

They do have some PSE that are reasonably priced... AND when you buy a bow from them they take really good care of you. Great customer service.

Post by: Stalker on September 12, 2018, 09:33:55 AM: I'd recommend them. I went in about a month and a half ago to buy a new bow. I had already looked at the BowTech Realm over in Tri-Cities area and wanted to get one locally so I figured I'd work with them. They have a young guy, believe his name is Jake, who is very knowlegable on all the bows they offer and is not hard over on any particular brand (highly recommend working with him). I ended up walking out with a Matthews TriAx fully rigged and was very happy with the entire expierence. :tup: :tup:

Hope this helps and let us know how your expierence goes. Always good to support local business.

My budget is around $500 so that's why I was looking at a used bow from archeryalk or somewhere

Post by: Stein on September 12, 2018, 06:47:59 PM: I bought mine used from Archery Talk and had riverside fit it, set up arrows, a rest and sight.

I ended up with a high end bow for the cost of an entry level.
