Turk's closing its doors. Sad day

[SpurHunter]

Turks Sport shop is going out of biz starting Saturday. Terry sold it a few years ago, but Im sad to see it shutting down.

Didn't care for them. They would rather talk amongst themselves than help someone.

Too much competition out there with all the big names coming to town.

I've tried going up there last few Saturdays and never got an answer when I called, wondered what was going on. Hate that for them

Really hate to hear that, I have always had good service from them...what's the next best place to go to next?

I use archers choice over in Hixson. Doc does a great job.

There's a new shop on McCallie Ave just east of Holtzclaw. I drove by and saw it the other day....
Maybe they're the next great thing.

There are several shops to buy bows from but good luck getting a good tune job at most of them. I shoot a lot of 3D Archery tournaments in local and national shoots. I learned when I started getting serious into it, that I had better learn to start tuning and tweaking my own equipment if I wanted it done halfway right. I liked olé Turk when he had the store but the new guy that took it over...we'll I went in to shoot the new BowTech bows one day and actually really liked one of the bows I shot. But the cold shoulder routine I got helped me decide real fast that I wouldn't be buying a bow from him. And I didn't. I found the same bow a few hundred dollars cheaper somewhere else and got it.

If you guys are near Dayton there's a good shop called The Harvest that sells a few name brand bows, including Elite. I go shoot their 3D shoots. There is a new place over on Spring Creek Rd in Cleveland that sells a couple brands too. They seem like good guys to buy from. Not sure about their tuning work though. I shot the New Elite bows there and they were really friendly. If you want a Mathews, Jeff at Benton Shooters is your goto guy for them. He knows more about tuning the Mathews bows than anybody around. And they have the ASA Pro/Am wins to back it up. I'm not a Mathews fan but if I were to buy one, that would be the place.

I second you daniel on the Harvest Pro Shop in Dayton. Great guys there and they have some great shoots both indoor and outdoor. I just purchased a new Elite Synergy Wednesday from them.

Daniel said it best. I bought my last new bow from Turk before he sold the shop. I didn't really care for the new owner. I ended up buying a used bow a few weeks ago and had Harvest Archery set it up. I really liked the guy and he seemed to know his stuff. They also have a indoor 3d range. I plan on giving 3d a go this year and we be shooting there. +1 for them.

Well I got good service from both Terry and Matt. I always enjoyed doing businss with them and they were quick to take care of me in a pinch. I have become a bow tech fan and hate the idea of loosing Turks. They will both always be good friends.
