Title: Mathews Archery Dealer
Post by: adamR on December 02, 2024, 01:49:16 PM: It's time for me to upgrade my bow and the new Mathews Archery Lift X is going to get my money. Does anyone have any suggestions for which dealer to go to in WA? I don't mind having to drive a few hours, but I want somewhere I can shoot in front of a pro that knows what they are doing. Suggestions?

Mike sells Hoyt and Bowtech I believe. If I was set on buying a Mathews I'd head to the west side

Mike no longer owns Grizzly. However, they are becoming a Mathews dealer this month. I'd rather go to a long time dealer with a range though.

Call ahead if you end up going there and make an appointment. I bought a lift from them last year they had both sizes, tons of different Mods, and most colors. I live kinda close so I left it on layaway for a few months and went in every Friday and put some cash down and shot tons of arrows to make sure everything was dialed. They have an indoor range and outdoor range out to I think 90yards.

A big second for Lucky Shot. They know their stuff with all things archery and are a bunch of good people.

ARCHERY WORLD, VANCOUVER OR LACEY. Very good service and lots of knowledge.
They've been my archery shop for over 20 years. I have a Matthews Halon that I bought three years ago. They build the strings and if you have some kind of accident just before the season, they jump to help you get into the woods. The owner is Joe Malicoat, Marine veteran. He and his wife and son are the salt of the Earth.

Post by: salmosalar on December 03, 2024, 10:09:19 AM: Riverside and Lucky shot are both excellent. I do not know any others.

Mathews is known for being supportive of their shops so I suspect that any shop that you go to will have that as an advantage.
