Mine is Ok.
The guy will answer questions that you have, but will not volunteer any information about the subject at hand. Not a very good word of Mouth place.
Most everyone I talk to would rather just talk to their buddies or someone they might know has been doing it for years.
Kinda sucks for those just starting out. Did for me.

I basically have to travel 50 miles to go to a small shop a guy has in his basement to get the quality of service I expect. Locally, I have probably four or five shops that I will not go to for various reasons except to just use their range. The fellow that I go to knows this and I call in advance of driving 50 miles, so I'm sure he can do the work I need while I'm there.

Most of the time though, I can pretty much do all maintenance on the bow in my basement. Last time I saw him it was to change a 80 percent module to a 65 percent on my Parker. The guys at Gander looked at me like I was nutts when I asked them if they had the module.

As a younger bow hunter living in New Jersey..there was a ripoff artist in Belleville New Jersey and a couple of real decent ones in other parts.. Good and bad in everything but I especially remember the ripoff artist..

There isn't a real big selection of archery shops here but the shop i deal with is pretty darn good. The shop i go to are the inventors of the APA ultimate rest and these guys really seem to know their stuff. The are efficient, knowledgeable, they will help you out with any type of a question or a problem and they are realy dedicated to their customers. The bow shop is an hour away from me and they guys told me if i ever need anything and don't want to drive just to give them a call and they will drop it off at my place when they are coming this way.

My shop is run by a guy whose shop is attached to his garage. He will bend over backwards to help you out. I have seen him put a new string on bows and not charge because they bought the new string from him. I have seen him spend what ever time it takes to get a peep sight just right and only charge for the peep.
