Looking buy a bow for my fiance wondering what are the best places in Edmonton or around Edmonton to purchase a bow?

Jimbows. You can stop searching now. Great customer service and they know their stuff for sure. 156st and 139ave. Give'em a chance and you won't be disappointed.

What type of bow are you looking at getting?

Hoyt/bowtech- Jim bows or accurate archery at Alberta beach
Mathews- trophy book spruce grove

X2 jimbows. These guys are top notch and are awesome at setting up a bow.

Either Lawrence at Accurate or the the boys at Jimbows will steer you down the right path. Can't miss with either of those places.

Jimbows in Calgary yes but in Edmonton - I don't think so.
Trophy book the service is fine but prices $$$$$
Alberta Beach guy - I have only heard good thing about him - prices $$$$
Cabelas Edmonton south - a few guys were trained by the Alberta Beach guy - they know what there doing there. So that’s good prices $$$
Sherwood Park guy - I don't think so

If your going to learn bow or attempt to learn go get advice from everyone, review everything and learn how to repair and service your bow. It sucks, if your in the field for a 1 week trip and something goes wrong with your bow - your hunt is over!

Learn to use it, service it, and repair it yourself. Its what I do!

I would check out all the places if your on a budget and decide for your self

It's new, but Jim-Bows definitely has a shop in Edmonton (13955 156 St NW; 780-488-7705). Carson and Dave are fantastic. So is Lawrence at Accurate Archery (4200 47 St, Alberta Beach, 780-924-3250). You owe it to yourself to visit both shops.

Have fun!

I will rebut your statement

Jimbows in either location- top notch
Trophy book service is so-so, prices are high and sort of get the feeling if your not dumping a grand your a take it or leave Customer
Lawrence in AB is one of the best I have ever seen. Works on all my bows. How can you say his prices are high if you dont even know who he is. I think his prices are about 10 percent less than TB on most stuff and bows all tend to be the same everywhere.
Cabelas probably not best best if your totaly green. I have seen them steer a few guys wrong just due to lack of knowledgen but Cam is good there
John at TnT in sherwood Park really good and is very knowledgable
Wholesale Sports is much like Cabelas. Hit or miss on guys there
That LOST dude in the barren land of Wainwright knows his stuff as well but pretty much limited to APA bows

Oh and you dont need to become a bowtech if you dont want to. I have been bowhunting for 25 years and I do almost nothing to my bows . No desire just like I have no desire to fix my car either
