Hello all. Bow season is just about over here, then it's gun season. That's when I want to send my 2 bows out for new strings/cables, re-turned and set-up properly. I'm looking for the best "Reputable" bow shop with Professional bow technicians, that will accept bows shipped to them. One that you trust and having experience with Bowtech bows, mainly the RPM360. Sure I could try it myself, if I had a bow press. But it would be cheaper just to ship it to a shop and get it done right, than to buy a press and whatnot and try it myself. So if you know and believe your Bow shop is the best, please post or PM me their name, location, email and phone number. Thanks
I would find a local shop too. My first pick wouldn't be a bigger store, (Bass Pro, Sportsman's Warehouse, etc.), although you might not have much of a choice. I'd give the internet a search for your area and hopefully some folks have done reviews on them. Once you find a shop, I'm sure they'd help you out with measuring exactly what size strings and cables you need and then you could order on-line from anyone, take them to the shop and have them installed. This is what I'm gonna do here soon for my bow.
I appreciate the reply hillbilly, but if there was a competent shop around here, that's where it'd be. I've been to 4 shops here, and it seems they are all inexperienced wanna-be techs. I know more than most "techs" here, and I'm less than average on bow set-ups. Even had 1 "tech" question me about what length I wanted my arrows cut, then they asked another "tech" for their advice whether to do it or not. "Hey, he wants these cut at xx, do you think I should do it or just cut them an inch longer"? It's this kind of "experts" I'm dealing with around here. Funny thing you mentioned BPS. I took it them Once and that was enough, never again. It was like watching 3 monkeys trying to screw a football. They were literally clueless on what limb adapters to use, and then how to install them on the press. After 45 minutes of trying to figure out how the adapters fit, another said they don't have the adapters for the RPM 360, another said "these might will work, lets try them". I told them to stop and just forget it. My bow cost too much to have some wanna-be "tech" screw it up. I know the length of the string/cables, but that's not the problem. The problem is finding a competent bow shop with bonafide expert bow techs. That's the reason for this thread. So if anyone knows of one, please post up. Thanks
If your willing to ship/drive/etc, I've heard good things about Carter's... http://www.cartersarchery.net/Home_Page.html
Thank you. I'll give them a call. Meantime, If anyone else can chime in with a few others, so I can at least have a choice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
I mean if you're willing to ship it, Bass and Bucks in Wabash, IN is one of the best I've ever seen. Hope it works out for you. http://www.bassandbucks.com/ Blessings........Pastorjim
My local bow shop is awesome. Great Lakes Outdoor Supply in Middlefield, Ohio. The Archery manager and Tech are both great. They are the only two I would let work on my bow and we have a lot of bow shops in my area.
I am fortunate to have three shops within an hour to hour and half of me that are really good and reasonable and stand behind what they sell.
Lakeside Bow n Arrow Shop, 619-443-5488. Bruce Marshal owner. Best shop in the country. They specialize in Bowtech and the customer service is over the top!!! Checkem on facebook.
Bruce is a good dude, I would go out of my way to go to his shop. Great customer service. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Thanks guys, another week of bow hunting here, then I'll start calling and looking up the recommendations.
Thought about that too, but if something bad could happen, it would if I tried doing it myself. So rather just let the pros do it right the 1st time. Thanks for the suggestion tho. Got about 2 weeks left in the deer season here, then it's turkey season. So I'll probably choose 1 of the above repair shops given after turkey season closes. Thanks again guys
The only downfall for shipping the bow out is it won't be set to you. Measuring only gets you close when you put in peeps, kissers ect. Weekend road trip might be the best bet Sent from my Pixel 2 using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
