Title: Recommended bow shops in Tri-Cities?
Post by: testar77 on September 13, 2010, 06:47:55 PM: Since it is official that I am now moving to the Tri-Cities, what bow shops do you recommend for helping a newbie out. I will be looking to find a bow I like immediately after the dust settles from the move (which is in 2 weeks :o ). So who has the best customer service, and most patience to help a noob? :)

wholesale sports in Kennewick has a good staff.

most of the help in tri-cities is inexperienced, hot-headed, etc.

we had a great shop but it closed down a few years ago.

They also have a 20yd indoor range. Colyak Bowhunters have a range in Richland. Upper portion is open to non-members. Good out to 60yds.
