"New to the sport, so don't know a whole lot, but I had a great experience buying from this store. They helped me tune it and sight it in for 20 yards, even showed me a proper anchor and shot. I bought the new 2024 darton consequence(love it) and got out the door for 1 grand ready to shoot."

"NOT WELCOMING TO NEWCOMERS TO THE HOBBY! YOU'RE BETTER OFF BUYING A BOW AND ARROWS AND PRACTICING IN YOUR BACK YARD OR FIELD SOMEWHERE Upon entering with my son I was not even greeted but stared down by an old man behind the counter. (I think the same old man mentioned bellow) I proceeded to approach him and I muster up "hey I'm new to the hobby and am wondering how to find out if I like it or not." The old man yelled around the corner, "Brandon!! We got you another one." That was very unwelcoming and slightly embarrassing. This made me feel like a burden for walking in. Brandon was nice but really discouraged me from perusing a compound bow in the hobby. He said they only rent out recurve. Which was expected. I read that much online. But when I asked how someone explores compound bows to get into the hunting hobby he said, " ohh those compound bows to set you up in the hobby can run you $1000. Then you need the sight and draw back trigger (I don't remember the proper name) and those pieces can be up to $1000 each." I'm really wondering what I'm doing here right now. I asked, "so do people just buy an expensive compound bow and decide if they like it then?" Brandon said, "yea pretty much. Do you want to rent the lane?" I said "No I was really interested in learning more about compound shooting. I should just head out. I want to do more research. Are other archery shops around?" I asked. He said, "yes but this is the only shop that specializes in adjustments on compound bows." I sat down and watched some archers. After watching some of the other guys shoot, I walk up to a different employee, working on a bow, and I asked, "you must be the bow expert haha. if I wanted to get into the hobby of hunting what compound bow would you refer me to?" He said, "well that depends on your draw back and the price you're comfortable with. Do you know your draw back length?" I said, " No. I just told you I'm new to the hobby." He said, "I'm actually working on this bow now so once I'm finished I can help you." I said, "oh I'm not going to buy anything I was just hoping you could give me some type of information that I could take home to do some research. I hope you have a good day." I then just walked out. The whole staff had this pretentious demeanor. Maybe I came to the wrong shop and asked the wrong questions. I was just hoping they'd break the compound bows down into brands and prices and types of hunting. I can find this information online on my own. I thought I was coming to experts for advice and direction. I would return but I will not because I'm afraid they'll treat me even more poorly after seeing this. But it was a very unwelcoming visit."

"Went in recently for the first time to get my daughters new bow set up, and we, were fortunate to be assisted by Campbell. He was very patient, knowledgeable, and made great recommendations to get her shooting better and more comfortably. She was encouraged to see individuals of all skill levels shooting on the range, and interacted with other members of the staff while her bow was being worked on, all of whom were very accommodating. The shop labor we were charged for the few items we purchased was less than what I expected, and the prices for those items was right in line with all of the big box sporting goods retailers. Excellent shop, with great people!"

"Newbie- Had a 4 person personal training session and David was great. Excellent tips, and patience, and we were all doing so well after an hour. We just went back and bought bows. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable. Felt comfortable and confident!"
