Droptine Archery in Advance NC. I'm thinking they do Mathews, Hoyt & Bowtech

 

Add Godwins Archery in Raeford, NC

I have bought from Irby Street Sporting Goods multiple times. They have a large selection and all the big brands in stock.

 

+1 on Godwins Archery in Reaford. They are quite busy nowadays, last couple weeks I went in and they were full.

 

First flight archery in Raleigh if you make it to central NC

 

Wasn’t a fan at all. Walked in the front door by the register with someone at it. Granted he was ringing someone up. Made a slow loop around the store. Browsed all over. Passed the guy at the register a second time no customer this time and out the door and was never spoken to or acknowledged at all. That was just my experience and enough for me to cross that one off my list of potential shops. (Hour from me).

 

Are you looking for a shop to work on your bow or looking for products on the shelf?

 

Thanks for the reply,

Hopefully both, but firstly bows on the rack to feel out. It's time to upgrade and I have not had the opportunity to shoot anything recent. I mostly hunt solo and don't know many other bowhunters that I can lean on either. But, Ideally it's a place where I can build a relationship with the guys/tech too and maybe gain some knowledge along the way. Just trying to narrow down which directions I should drive 1-3hrs first.

 

Understandable, Saluda river archery (Piedmont SC) has an indoor range, and a fair amount of product on the shelf. I believe they carry matthews, Darton, some elite maybe.
Nice pro staff and they’ll work with you to get set up and started. Consider joining some 3D tournaments also, it’s a great way to meet other archers.

 

I like Lee, the bow tech at Springhill outfitters in Selma Nc as well.

 

Another recommendation for Droptine archery (DropTine Archery), my local spot. It's just ran by a man and his wife (Robert and Pam) so it's technically a small shop. They've got Hoyt, Mathews, Bowtech, Prime, Elite I think, and Athens, and their sister brands + Trad gear .

They have odd hours, get there early at 3 pm and you won't have to wait. Of course, It's prime season now so they're probably stacked. Robert is a straight shooter and says what's on his mind. He's been doing this a long time. He knows his stuff. Show respect get respect. He personally showed me some tuning and bow tech basics when he didn't have to.

Another recommendation is Grafton archery, stopped in there once, nice people.

 

Thanks - sounds great, also glad to see they carry prime too since the revex 4 seems to be difficult to find nearby unlike matthews/Hoyt . They’re only be about an hour from the in-laws so I’ll have to definitely check them out as well.

 

Late to the party, but I have to add my vote for Saluda River Archery.
They have always been quick to acknowledge me when I come in and take their time to make sure I got what I was looking for, even when busy.
I went there years ago for my first bow and Kevin must have spent over an hour patiently getting me shooting before I had even committed to making a purchase. I was there a few days ago and they had a good selection of Mathews, Darton and Bowtech on the walls, set up and ready to shoot. Fairly certain they carry Elite and PSE as well.
Good luck

 

Damn. You’re better than Google.

I think it’s great how everyone is helpful around here.

Yeah, everyone has been very helpful. Google will only paint a broad picture sometimes. Real life experiences that sometimes people don’t share in a review are valued. I find myself utilizing forums like Reddit as my main form of reviews for just about anything these days.

 

Pass thru archery in Asheville,NC. Kevin is a heck of a tuner.

This^ Kevin is the best tuner in NC now that I have moved to Tennessee (LOL) Kevin is a great hunter too! The last time I shot 3D with Kevin, we tied at 8 up! He does this as a side in his basement, so you need to make an appointment.. Jefferies in Columbia has done many favors for me to, good guys and if you don't know their history, you need to check them out, Senior used to shape recurves with Fred Bear!

 

Wow, good stuff - I did not know the history but that’s awesome hear. I’m sure the old man has a story or two.

Great, thanks!

 

Jeffery Archery Columbia SC

 

I’ll throw in Mastin’s Archery in Rhonda, NC. Owner very knowledgeable and will go above and beyond.
Droptine Archery in Advance, NC gets great reviews in my area as well.
Coopers Trading Post. Prepare to be amazed. You name it he stocks it and I’m not kidding. Target bows in all colors. Hoyt, Mathews, etc. Target sights, clarifiers, lenses, whatever. Can be pricey though.

 

its a bit of a drive but First Flight Archery in Raleigh
