    I will be hunting almost the enitre season in Wadsworth! Can't wait for the season to get here. What kind of bow are you shooting? You have a few choices for shops in the northern part of the state.

    TAZ Archery, ask for Tim. since i moved to IL 6 yrs ago i continued to take my bow with me back to MN when i visited my folks. getting it tuned, new string etc. was a pain in the butt to say the least. i would not trust my bow to any other shop. it took about two years of my buddies who go to TAZ to convince me to let them work on my bow. i have heard sooooooooooooo many horror stories about other local shops and i just refused to let that happen to me. about a week ago i hit up Tim and he was more than happy to take in my bow and tune it for me. i hope you find a good shop that you TRUST, it took me 6 years!

    Agree that Tim does a great job that would of been another one I would of suggested. Since you shoot a Hoyt I would go to Buck Stop.

    All I can tell you is if you want someone that knows all of the ins and outs of hoyt and mathews then go see Pete at buck stop.
    If you need any info on the shop or just wnat to have someone from the site there when you go there just let me know I would be more than happy to help
