I’d find a capable pro shop before letting a big box store touch my stuff. there is a difference between a retail store and an actual bow tuner

Bought my wife’s years ago and they got her draw length wrong. They did the same thing to me when I bought my first bow.

I’d find a capable pro shop before letting a big box store touch my stuff. there is a difference between a retail store and an actual bow tuner I agree. But i used to shoot for a Guy working (or so i heard) for Bass Pro in the Archery Department (IF he's still there i dunno) in Spanish Fort, he was a shop owner some years back, and a damn fine bow tuner for sure. However i can't never get him on the phone, shoot me a pm and I'll explain better....

I would spend 20 extra minutes and drive to Saraland to Scott's or Quints I'd go 2 states over or Academy before i went to Scott's 🤣 Now Brad's my buddy (at Quints) but i dunno if they ever got a tech back in the Archery Department yet or not (I'll have to txt him)

I wasn't happy with Quints or Scott's when I lived in South Alabama.
I'd try that archery unlimited place on the recommendations above before I'd go back.

I’m looking to buy a bow for my 11 year old son. I’m torn between an older model Diamond Edge that is discontinued or the new model.
If I buy the older, then i can take it wherever for setup and tuning, no problem. However, if I buy new, my local options are Bass Pro or Academy. If I buy new, I expect the place of purchase to setup and tune.

If I buy new, I expect the place of purchase to setup and tune. Oh well crap man, I’d get him the best deal and have someone do the basics on it. My nephew is around the same age and I plan on doing the same for him. He’s shooting a Genesis now for school but has taken interests into something a little nicer. As he gets more consistent with his new bow, I’ll start helping get his setup more in tune for him. There’s a wealth of information out there. While it may seem a little intimidating at first, there’s really nothing to working on a bow and getting one setup. You can go as deep down the rabbit hole you wanna go, but for a young man, he will be just fine with the basics.
