Phenomenal place with great knowledge for archery. Very thorough and will make sure you are 100% satisfied before you leave. I would recommend making an appointment if you’re coming from a farm distance, as they are very busy from the great quality of work they perform! Wouldn’t take my bow anywhere else after going here! Highly recommend.

I ordered a bow from them recently, I normally would have wanted to go to a shop and purchase a bow but after seeing reviews and videos left by customers and the business themself I had to order from better outdoors archery shop. The bow shipped quickly and was set up near perfectly for me right out of the box. I couldn’t be any happier with my purchase!

It’s very rare that business owners exceed my expectations, however I can honestly say, Dalton and Julie owners of Better Outdoors did just that. After watching and following their channels on both YouTube and Instagram and thoroughly researching their services I scheduled their Stage 3 tunes for both my Era and my Omnia.I drove 4 hours for my appointment and upon arrival was greeted not like a customer but as a friend. From there Dalton went to work. He took my bows and gave them a thorough inspection and notice quickly I had damage to the strings on my Era. As a true professional and out of concern for safety Dalton decided not to tune the Era until the strings were replaced. Instead of taking my money for the tune of this bow he didn’t like some shops I am used to. Awesome start!Dalton began to work on my Omnia. After confirming my draw length and draw weight Dalton pulled out a chart and began filling in all the information. I chuckled as this reminded me of a doctors visit. Dalton was very thorough even checking and confirming the correct arrow spine that I should be shooting. After the preliminaries were complete, the fun started which was shooting. Not only was Dalton tuning my bow , but part of the service is also personalized coaching. Dalton is very patient and is a very good communicator. He showed me things to look for as a shooter that I had never heard of before. We even tweaked my grip ever so slightly and that made my shooting even better.As Dalton was making the adjustments on my Omnia to get to the point of sighting in my sight, which with the stage 3 tune you not only sight in field points but you also sight in your broadheads to hit where your field points do. No matter how long this takes both field points and broadheads will hit in the same spot or you don’t leave the shop. Dalton wants you to have confidence in your gear. Great added service to this tune, which with the shops in my area do not conduct this type of service. Amazing service at this point is an understatement to say the least!!So while Dalton was making the tuning adjustments to my bow I began to ask him and Julie questions about the Mathew’s Phase 4. I decided I wanted to shoot it and see what this brand and bow was like. Julie quickly set it up for me. After setting up the bow for me to shoot Dalton went back to work on my bow as Julie took me to range to assist me in demoing the Phase 4 not only speaking about the Phase 4 but also answering every little question and concerns I had for the bow. Well….lol… after shooting the phase 4 I decided I wanted to add this bow to my arsenal. I am a 100% Elite guy and always will be, but shooting the Phase 4 and all my questions answered thoroughly, I felt confident this was going to be a great investment for me. So after the adjustments on my Omnia he then had to begin working on setting up and building my new bow and I added the stage 3 tune for this one as well. This is when the fun really began. As Dalton was building my new bow he was very meticulous and methodical in helping me decide what accessories to purchase that were not only to my liking but also practical. Dalton could’ve easily put anything I wanted on the new bow but like a true professional would advise against a high ticket item I may have thought was “cool” or “trendy” for practically and use which in the long run was going to save me money. Again, for me this is not what I was used to and my expectations were blown away again.After setting up both my new bow and my Omnia we spoke about proper arrows which I knew I was going to need and already knew I was going to purchase. After the consultation on arrows I went with the Black Eagle Rampage, which they custom built for me as part of the service! Dalton is very meticulous in building the arrows. Highly recommend getting arrows from them.Dalton and Julie went above and beyond for me. What started out as tunes for my bows ended up in purchase for a custom built bow. I can say they have earned my business for life!!!! Thank You Dalton and Julie!!!!

Dalton and Julie were really awesome in the ordering and building process of my arrows. They took the time to help me calculate my arrow specs and put effort into them. Unfortunately that's where the good remarks stop.I have had issues with inserts pulling out in the past and I described this thoroughly to them. I took a chance ordering with them hoping they would give me arrows that were of better quality. I paid a total of $351 for a dozen arrows. I only shot the arrows maybe 20 times. In that time I had 2 inserts pull out, 1 in a bag target and 1 in a foam target. Both with field points. Dalton insisted that this was abnormal and requested that I send the arrows back after initially claiming that it was the fault of the foam target on the first incident. I sent them back stressing the need for quick turnaround as I am less than a month away from turkey season and my bow isn't even sighted in. I also bought a new release I need to practice with. The arrows are still not at their shop yet because the return label was USPS standard shipping. I would think that under the circumstances priority shipping is...… obvious...I called to tell them that at this point I would rather have my money back to get arrows quicker somewhere else. They refuse the refund on the grounds that custom arrows are not subject to return. I think that this is fairly ridiculous seeing as how the arrows have an issue, I am not returning them for no reason.I really wanted to like these guys and I was hoping that they would meet expectations and they simply didn't. Now I'm sitting here out $350 with no arrows and at the mercy of USPS standard shipping. They will absolutely not receive any more of my money, as if I haven't given them enough. I expected them to meet the standard that they present on their social media, I was under the impression that "Pro Shop" delineated a higher standard of quality and service. I could have gone to my local shop that I had problems with and gotten the same service and not sent my $350 to a different state.At the very least they should have immediately sent me 12 more arrows to keep me going while I sent the others back. They seem to be more worried about the bottom line than customer satisfaction.

Dalton and family (Better Outdoors) are doing something special and are definitely not just another "bow shop". Even though I was an avid shooter 20 years ago, I consider myself a novice at the moment and sometimes that can be intimidating. I felt completely comfortable during the whole process.. Type of folks that you feel like you've known your whole life.I was looking for someone who cared to set up my bow as it was their own, and despite my high standards, Dalton exceeded them. There is no "eyeballing adjustments" or good enough involved in a bow tune by Dalton. If it is not perfect, it is not leaving the shop - period/hard stop/the end. Also, at no time was an attempt made to upsell any item in the shop - even though he has drool worthy bows and accessories in stock! I hope what I have communicated that Better Outdoors is an extremely professional shop, with highly skilled professionals, who put the customer first. Worth the drive from any distance and I could not give any higher recommendation.

Had an appointment at 1pm they were ready for me right on time. Had lots of tuning that needed to be done and he took the time to make sure it was all correct. Then spent some time correcting some form issues that I had/have. They know what they are doing and seem to enjoy it and it shows. Great experience will definitely be my go to bow shop from now on.

I bought a Bear Species EV from them. Dalton took care of me, tuned my bow, answered all my questions, and provided great recommendations; all while from 1000+ miles away. Bought it via the website betteroutdoors.net I highly recommend these folks!

First off, this is the first review I have ever done. I don't ever review businesses but after the positive experience I had with Better Outdoors I felt like I had to leave a review. I have owned countless bows over the past 10 years and the dedication and care they put into tuning my new bow and adjusting my form has improved my shot exponentially. I took my bow out the day after getting it set up at Better Outdoors and can honestly say i have never had such tight groupings and accurate long shots. Along with the flawless professional tuning and expert coaching, Better Outdoors has by far the best selection of bows and archery equipment I have ever seen. No matter your skill set or the type of shooting you do, Better Outdoors will have what you need.

I’m so grateful for Better Outdoors. Their knowledge and expertise is priceless. As a first time buyer of archery equipment, I felt overwhelmed with draw length, weight, and what was the right type of equipment for me. I had previously shopped around at different archery shops and was told I could pull back a 55 lb bow. After a few attempts I almost blew out my shoulder. When I first arrived at Better Outdoors they showed me a Prowess bow that both fit my needs and was in line with what I was looking for. At which point I had tried different types of bows but this one was designed with woman in mind, I was so excited for the opportunity to “grow with my bow”. It didn’t take long to make the decision to purchase, even prior to purchase I was able to shoot the bow and get feedback on what I needed to do to be more technically sound. After more discussion, both Dalton and Julie were able to recommend a thumb release. I was excited and able to try the thumb release. I can’t express how grateful I was to not only have a great customer experience but to work with people who are passionate about archery and teaching the skill. When I returned to get my bow ready they were knowledgeable and worked one on one with me to make sure I was ready to hit the range. I highly recommend Better Outdoors to anyone whose a first time archer or looking to get into the sport. They provide advice for both the beginner archer and the advanced archer. My boyfriend and I went together and he’s a much more advanced archer. They provided the same level of knowledge and advice to both of us. We left Better Outdoors not only better archers but with a better understanding on ways to improve our shots. The range is a great place to practice and it’s indoors. It’s nice to have real-time advice and information on what works best for you.I can’t say enough great things about Better Outdoors, go check them out! Thank you again guys for your hospitality and service.

Dalton is hands down the best bow tuner.
