Title: Archery shop recommendation
Post by: swampjunke on September 20, 2011, 02:06:48 PM: Looking for a honest shop on the west side to set up my sons bow. He has a AR Velocity, it needs new modules & draw length adjusted. He also needs arrows cut. Any help is much appreciated.

Or see Ryan at the new Sportsman's Warehouse on the south Puyallup hill. I've also heard good things about the Nock Point (already mentioned), but have no personal experience, there.

I think you can still find some parts through PSE. Although I am sure the supply is very thin. If not available a good shop would then try to work you up a sweet upgrade deal with PSE.

Wrong. I've worked at Wholesale Sports, and I work at Sportsman's Warehouse now. Either one is a PSE dealer and can get whatever AR parts that are available. Sportsman's still has over 25 stores, some that have been around for a while. It would take a little work, but I could probalbly get the modules you need. No guarantees until we see the bow.

That's good news! Glad to see that process working better. Used to take forever and then no guarantee. If anyone got back to you at all. I pleasantly stand corrected.

Post by: swampjunke on September 20, 2011, 08:05:04 PM: Thanks for all the help guys, my cousin shoots for PSE. He's sending me the modules. I think i'll go with the Nock Piont for the installation, looks like they carry PSE.

Post by: wonder on September 21, 2011, 11:52:09 AM: I went to all the shops from Mount Lake Terrace to Bow and found that Wilderness Archery in Bow did a good job of setting me up with a nice bow package. Sounds like it will be a bit of a road trip for you but I liked them. Good luck!

Post by: kglacken on September 21, 2011, 11:55:33 AM: Its quite a drive but Fletch setters archery in Rainier has always been good to me. Been going there for five years not and he loves helping out new customers.
