Well I know this post was about Archery shops close to Sea/tacoma.. but I just can't bring myself to recommend any of them.. well... I shouldn't say that.. If you are looking for traditional archery gear.. Northwest Archery is the place to go.. they probably have the best stock of anyone in the state....

For compound stuff... D&D Archery is the nicest shop around.. Granted you have to go to Bremerton.. but it is well worth the drive\ferry ride.. lets put it this way.. I live about 1 mile from the Nock Point and I go to D&D if I need anything more than string wax.... Dave over at D&D is one of the nicest shop owners I have ever run into... IMHO.. He's a strait shooter and has always treated me fair... In all the time I've spent in his shop (a lot) I've never seen him try to "sell" something to someone, unless they strait out asked him what he would recommend.. Even then it's usually not the most expensive stuff in the shop.. He actually seems to understand that not everyone can buy a $700 bow and will work with you to get the most out of your money.. I dunno.. maybe it's just me.. but i kinda like that.. he usually has a descent selection of bows (unless he has just sold a bunch) and will let you shoot anything in the shop..

If you want to give them a look they are at:

3476 Belfair Valley Rd.
Bremerton, WA 98312
(360) 405-0643

He is a dealer for … Mathews, Hoyt, Martin, Bowtech, and Parker…

One thing to remember.. If you go in thinking you are gods gift to Arching and come across like an Ass.. don’t expect to get the royal treatment.. but I would hope this is true in any shop..

Anyways.. I’m not gunna bad mouth any of the other shops mentioned here.. Just wanted to tell of my experience and what I felt..
