I am in Spartanburg and the only bow shop in Pauline closed down.
Where is another nearby shop?
Thanks!

Great place in Rock Hill if you want to drive over here called Southern Draw Archery
Southern draw is worth the drive.
Justin McKee is one of the owners and just a solid dude.
Yep, I'm not a bow hunter, but have taken two sons there for help and they took an extraordinary amount of time with them.
Saluda River in Piedmont are good people
Southern draw
Hunter's Headquarters in Greenwood.
Every time I was in Hunter Headquarters getting archery stuff, I felt like I was bothering them or they didn’t want to be bothered.

I am a nobody, that met somebody, that can save anybody.
I bought both my bows from HHQ.
While the personalities behind the bow counter are definitely lacking I’ve always felt like at the end of the day they’ve taken care of me.
I figure they’ve sold bows long enough that they generally know what combination is the best when considering, how it performs for the amount of effort you have to put into it to achieve desirable results so I typically take their advice
save the headache and time and learn how to do the stuff your self. Finding a good bowshop is about like finding a good boat mechanic.
You can have all the equipment needed to change strings and cables, tie d loops, install peeps, install and adjust sights and rests, etc for less than $100, add 400 to that if you want a nice table top press. Youtube has hours and hours of videos showing the process for each and every step.
One of my best friends recently wanted to get into archery. He was starting from square one, and as a left handed shooter I recommended he go to a bow shop so he could make sure he got the right draw length, etc. I sent him to a shop in the Summerville area that's always had a good reputation. They sold him 1200$ worth of stuff (bow, arrows, target, release, broadheads, etc.) He gets home and starts shooting and after a few days was telling me that his pins were maxed out and he was still hitting way to the right. He sends me a few pictures and the shop had installed a right handed sight upside down on his left handed bow but didn't fully reverse everything to make up for it being mounted on the opposite side of the riser. It took 0.25 seconds for me to see the problem, in a picture, and about 5 minutes to fix the problem. All you had to do was look down the damn arrow and you could see that something was off.
So after dropping $1200 on a new hobby, sparing no expenses at the bow shop so that he could get the quality advice expected from a "pro", he gets sent home with a screwed up setup from the get go.
Most of these shops are great if you go in their and talk to the right guy and catch him on the right day. But if you go in there at the wrong time, or talk to to the wrong guy, good luck.
