Not getting in any 2026 'flagship' bows. Dang…only archery shop around. What's the next closest?

Probably Houston. I use west Houston archery

Go to Outlaw Archery in the Woodlands

Come to Texas Archery in Spring

If only it were closer to B/CS

Are you affiliated?

All 3 recommendations are within 90 minutes. It's basically do I want to sit in traffic on the north side or the west side?

WHA > Texas Archery

Probably a bow shop in Huntsville.

DUMAN?

2nd for Outlaw. Not saying any of the others are inferior but it's closest to you and they have been great for both me and my wife since they opened.

I live in Katy and will drive to Texas Archery over West Houston any day.

I'll second Texas archery. I've had some stuff done there and taken lessons there. Drove from brenham. Worth it.

I'll be there Monday or Tuesday to pick up a Kodiak Brown ARC 30. (Outlaw only has demos that they won't sell.)

Damn Aggie game has me day drinking and spending $.

DM me so we can connect.

I shot one of those today. Much smoother draw cycle than my lift

Hoss Archery just opened up a few weeks ago in north Rosenberg (south of Fulshear) was great for a restring on a crossbow.

I'd give them a look, but it's 1.5 hours from College Station.

Did you shoot it with the standard mods or the new Z mod option which is supposed to make it even smoother? I'm going to buy it with the standard mods and get the Z mods to have as an option.

I'll be there all week, so I'm sure you'll see me.

The Z mods are pretty nice. I've only shot them T-Rex style because our preview kit doesn't go out to my draw length, but I did shoot the ARC 30 with them and the regular mods at 27.5 and I liked them enough that I ordered them for myself too.

I shot the SWX and the Z side by side on one of our other tech's Lift X 29.5 and the Z mod made her bow much nicer to draw and it only cost 6 fps per our Garmin chrono. I'm excited to see what the difference is on the ARC speed wise. I didn't do a side by side on the ARC yet, but I will once mine comes in. Shooting close to 4 inches short isn't comfortable, otherwise I would have done a test on the ARC.

Does not surprise me they are going out of business. Their service was terrible. If you were not in their "click", they would not pay attention to you.

I believe it was the z mods… it was slower than my lift

Best shop in the area by far! About time for me to upgrade.

Details on this cat?

I liked west houston but every time I went in there I had to basically set myself on fire to get any help.....even when I was the only person in there. A simple "welcome in, let us know if we can help you" would have went a long way. Instead its don't ever look up from behind the counter and when someone does try to get your attention you get annoyed. Also got the feeling you were treated that way unless you were in their shooting league.

I don't think this has been followed up on, but y'all know Texas Archery is moving to B/CS right?

Yall do this all wrong. Come to former Bow Pros in Stonewall. It's now Los Cazadores but same great service but deeper pockets. Have wife drop you off and she can proceed to shop in Fredericksburg. Never rushes me to hurry up.
Happy wife and all that.

End of march shop open is what I hear?
