Looking for a new place to get some work done on a bow and was wondering if someone could recomend a good shop in central Alberta. Anywhere from Airdrie to Edmonton will work. Thanks in advance. SG

You got Jimbows in Calgary, the extra 15 minutes from Airdire to Calgary isn't that much. Jim would be my first place to go, great shop.

I like the folks down at Calgary Archery Center. I forget the name of the huy who helped me out. He was very helpful, lots of good advice and made sure that my rig was set up properly. He even watched me shoot a couple of arrows to be sure....gave me a couple of shooting tips as well. They have some good used bows and tonnes of new ones. Good luck.

Just need some work done on it need a new string and a new spare string and a couple small things done. Not looking to get a new set up. Been bowhunting for 20 yrs and shooting this bow for 5 years and dont plan on changing anytime soon, it shoots way to good. SG

Sheepguide, i don't know if there is any ranges in central alta, but Jimbow's in north calgary, will totally take care of you. Jimmy will always go the extra mile,you won't be dissapointed.

I know Whitecourt is quite out of the way, but Stoney Creek Outfitters are by far the best when it comes to service. They go out of their way to help you get set up. Worth the drive!!!

Go see Al Southwood at the Calgary Archery Center. He is the guy to have work on your string. He even makes custom strings. I know your not looking at Calgary but for the extra 15-20 mins i would not mess around. C.A.C can get you set up properly.

Good luck!

I will only go the CAC from now on. Had nothing but issues at *****'s. He's an ok guy but i have had some bad experiences there in the last few years.

For the extra 15min go To Jim Bows. He will get you what you need and not sell you anything you don't. Call him prior to going so he can have what you need ready or save you a trip if it needs to be ordered.

SG red deer archery has been good to me thus far, and they're a little less of a jaunt from your home turf. I've had my bow set up and tuned there and they did a good job.
