Default Accurate Archery

I would like to give a shout out to Lawrence at Accurate Archery in Alberta Beach for the fantastic job he did mounting my new sight and setting all the axis points and tuning my bow up. After taking it to a couple other local archery shops and I'm not going to name names but I was very disappointed with the outcome and lack of effort put in to satisfy a customer and produce results. Lawrence took the time to set things up properly and show you how they should work and explained what he was doing as he went. He spent an hour working on my bow and it is shooting better now than ever before. I am in the market for another bow soon and because of his effort and passion for the sport I know where I will be purchasing my next bow from. Thanks for all the help.

Lawrence is the only guy I let work on my bows, over the years I've learned so much from him, and he's always let me play at his shops all day. He loves what he does, and it shows in his workmanship, not to mention he's one of the friendliest guys you'll meet.

Couldn't agree more. He changed my strings, cam's and put a new sight on my bow earlier this year. What stands out to me is that he takes the time to show you what he is doing and why. I was only in there an hour or so but he taught me a lot. He's got my business that's for sure.

Agreed. He is very knowledgeable, personable and is passionate about what he does. Him and I hit it off right off the bat, he's a straight shooter. I highly recommend him for all your archery needs.

I drive from Beaumont to take my bows out there. He gets my business and I have nothing but praise for him and his work.

Lawrence is awesome.. he's magic on bows. When I shot Prime for a bit seems nothing he couldn't do. . But now I shoot Bowtech... and only let Carson and Dave @ Jimbows touch my bows... they have thier own magic and being able to group almost any fixed broadhead with FP out to 100 yd with my set up is indeed a magical touch.

I did use the football clamp until the bolt started to strip because I couldn't get it as tight as I wanted it then I switched to what lefty did in his picture, no complaints since , I had a hard time trusting the clamp after I had it move twice

Kind of a weird place for that question, but yes it is

Met Lawerence for the first time about a month ago. He tuned up my bow( which had already been done by another shop) and had it shooting better than ever before. In the market for a new bow either later this year or beginning of next year. He is a great guy and definitely getting my business from now on.

Lawrence is top notch! Great customer service. I was out there this morning for the first time ever. And he put a new string on my bow, tuned everything up to make sure the cams were timed properly, set up my rest for the proper centre shot, and drop initiation of my rest. The whole time he was working on my bow, he had me set up shooting all the new bows he carries. After he was done putting on my string, we checked out draw weight, and shot through the chrony. It was set at 68lbs, and with 400 gr arrows and a 28" draw, I was getting 276fps. I decided to max out the (70lbs) limbs. It turned out I was getting 73lbs. And it put my speed up to 289fps. I also picked up a dozen new Easton bloodlines. It's too bad his shop is so far from Leduc, I'd be in there a lot more if it was closer!

Yeah I wish that he was closer too. Maybe it is a good thing though or I'd be spending a lot more money. lol

For me, it's gonna get spent anyways, I'd rather spend it somewhere that I get treated well, and have the confidence that my bow is in good hands. Plus, he carries the arrows I shoot, and a lot of the accessories I'd like to buy!

I'd spend more if he was closer but as it is he gets most of my business and he's the one that works on my bows.
