Bring it in to Federal Way Wholesale Sports this weekend , and I'll get you fixed up. We have a good selection of sights, so we should be able to find something that fits your budget. Ask for Larry AKA Old Dog.
Looks like someone is tooting his own horn...... :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
:hello: :hello: :hello:

Larry at wholesale sports and Doug at NW Archery both run good shops. Can't go wrong with either one.

The archery staff at Wholesale are strapped by the corporate buyers. I know they've been frustrated by this. It's a bummer for both the the tech trying to help out and the customer. Sometimes they'll have what I want, but more times than not, I buy online. BTW, often the "pro" shops also won't have what I'm looking for. Anyway, the guys at Wholesale know how to work on bows and they take their time to get it right. Not saying that pro shops don't have good staff. I've used them, also. Just saying that some box stores do have good and qualified people working behind the counter. A lot has to do with their attitude toward the sport and the customer.
I've concluded that finding a good bow mechanic is like finding a good auto mechanic. You go through a fair amount of heart ache trying to find a good one and when you do, they know you for life.

:yeah:I do see your point but in my expierience and opinion theres a big difference between the tech at the ford dealership and the sales associate at the auto zone.
