oops, sorry about that I didn't know wilderness had shut down. I'm sorry to hear that I dealt with them last season, but did not make it in this season. They were extremely helpful to this newbie.

you cant go wrong at Shupbach's in Jackson. I belive it may be the best archery shop around Michigan.

Wilderness Archery is not closed. Alan and some other investers bought out Pete. My friend was in there and got a string and cable (after they blew up shooting at a deer) and Alan fixed his bow. That was November 5, I just tried to confirm again, but the phone was busy. ;)Just called again and the name has been changed to Four Seasons Archery. :)The phone number is 734-913-6283

my vote for Van's

They stand behind there products and sales. I was treated very fairly when my son started shooting. Bought him a bow to start shooting at the JOAD program. After I wrote his name all over the bow, they were willing to take it back for a smaller size bow (I did not take them up on the offer).

Good people and just right up the road from Ann Arbor.

I like Van's also, but..

I spent a couple of hours at Hog Wild in Belleville last night. Howard and his wife will be my bow shop of choice from now on. ;)

Hog Wild is probably the nearest shop to Ann Arbor.

I will second that Fred Bear. Shupbachs has been good to me for the last 13 yrs of business I have gave them. I believe they told me they were the number 1 dealer in the state for mathews. It doesnt matter. I believe they have excellent service and knowledge. Go in and ask for Gordy or Brian. I would love to hear of a bad complaint from this store that didnt get resolved. Excellent professionalism.

I wouldn't hesitate to go to either one. Done lots of business with both, with no complaints. Planning to head to Hog Wild this weekend to purchase a new bow. Howard and Carol have done good by us time and time again. The hours can sometimes get frustrating, but well worth it.

I went to Van's once to try out a Switchback. They seemed very knowledgeable and they were certainly very friendly.

I got no pressure, just helpful info and the chance to try out the new switchback (Which I LOVED by the way. I just can't justify getting one since I'm happy with my LX. It just has less shock, thats about the only difference. Sorry for getting off subject).
