Being a bit of a ?gear head? when it comes to archery, I have used virtually every archery shop on the Wasatch front at one time or another. The quality of their staff and the condition of their inventory seems to ebb and flow from good to barely adequate. Also, for some reason, service has been very poor at every shop at one time or another.
My question: Who has the best archery shop on the Wasatch Front today????
My 2 cents on the shops I have used (from north to south)
Wild Arrow
Great new location, nice range, Excellent stock of new equipment. (Best inventory on display in the state) Young staff is knowledgeable but lacks experience IMHO.
Salt Lake Archery
Target archery Recurve heaven. Caters to target archers not much to hunting. Good shop not great.
Utah Archery Center
G is the man. I trust his opinion when it comes to set up and recommendations more than anyone I know. All about Hunting. Most of the Wasatch Front maniacs I run into on the hill, I run into here.
That being said, service is consistently poor. Unless you know someone personally working behind the counter, you need interrupt conversations and continue to push just to get a peep installed in under 3 hours. (Slight exaggeration for effect) Bow inventory is good, but everything else must be ordered. Shop is not clean and is somewhat unprofessional.
Humphreys Archery
Two locations in Utah County now that Payson sports went out of business. Great shop in Pleasant Grove. Hoyt, Bowtech, Mathews, Mission. These guys offer a lot of choices. Nice range, Pop up target leagues, decent inventory, good service, good techs.
Jake?s Archery
As most of you know, Jake?s is an archery distributor. When you order a bow from another shop it comes from the manufacturer, virtually everything else comes from here.
Jake?s has a good knowledgeable staff, but surprisingly their in store display is somewhat lacking. Tough to not like these guys.
Did I miss anybody??
Who is at the top of their game RIGHT NOW??
