Accurate Archery

[kodiak338]

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.

[arrow_baron]

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.

Thank s Lawrence

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.

The fundamentals of tuning a bow for optimum performance is pretty universal. When someone really understands bow mechanics, they can generally get it done. I know Lawrence can tune any bow that you bring to him. PRIME, ELITE, HOYT, BOWTECH, MATHEWS, PSE, ATHENS, or whatever bow you have, new or old. I'm sure that Carson or Dave have the same ability with all bow brands as well, because they get bow mechanics. Personally, I do all my own work on my bows, and generally have acceptable results, and there are only a couple of people other than myself I let work on my stuff 😉.

Bottom line, don't think for a second that the service provided by Lawrence at Accurate Archery is by any means brand specific. In fact, he might have a trick or 2 up his sleeve....

Lawrence is the only guy I go to as well. Great guy & very knowledgeable like everyone here has said.

Do they take "drop ins", or must they be scheduled?

Just drop by, unless there is something special you would like, such as strings and cables, or arrows he might not have, etc.. Then give him a call first so he can order it for you.

Great guy

[New2Elk]

Totally agree, I've had great experiences every time I've stopped in.

[Kodiak12]

My only complaints with Lawrence is that he seems anti carbon express arrows and the way he tied in my rest string is pretty hokey

What was hokey about it? Picture?

He serves the cable first, then ties in the timing cord, this way you can still adjust the timing without having to use those horrible footballs, or have to use a press.

[Kodiak12]

I'll try uploading a picture later but what he did was tie a serving above and tied the rest string in some bs knot around the cable. The knot that he tied for rest string is loose enough it doesn't take much to push it down further on the cable which could effect the timing of my rest. He also did this without asking my input and did not put the football clamp from before back in which caused me another out of the way trip. A guy I also have shot with had the same thing happen when his string was replaced and ended up having to tie over the rest string knot during a 3D shoot.

The timing cord jumped the serving?

[Lefty-Canuck]

My drop away cords are under serving and run through the split string...they don't move unless I need them to.

I have seen a few timing cords set up in ways they are bound to fail and helped more than one guy fix his rest in the middle of a shoot. Not sure if they did the setup on their own or not.

Do you run a D-Loop? If so compare the "BS Knot" to your D-Loop knot. Strong enough to draw your bow and not move on the string, it will be fine for a rest cord.

The football clamp provided with a QAD is garbage and will definitely move over time.

And the reason you only tie serving above the "BS Knot" is because there is only upward pressure on the rest cord.

I think I am going to call the D-Loop knots "BS Knots" from now on, has a neat ring to it!

This is how all my bows are set up,

I used to do all mine like that too, and it worked great. The last couple years I've been using the BS knot, I've only taken about 8,000-10,000 shots with my bows set up like that so its too early to tell if it's an effective method, but I've switched rests without having to use my press a couple times so far, I'd say that's about the only difference I've noticed.

I would never put a football on my bow.

[normanrd]

I've used the football for as long as I've been using a fall away rest, likely 10 or 12 years or more and I have never had a failure. If you install them correctly and pay attention to your equipment they should provide problem free service for as long as you have the rest on.

The D Loop knots on my bow are tight. This knot is loose enough it can easy be pushed down and if it falls lower and the bow is drawn back it does not move up. The way Lefty has his rigged up is far superior and I've never heard of anyone complaining about the footballs clamps. I guess QAD gives you those clamps so you can throw them away.

[jlgsgw]

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

Maybe if you put the football under the "BS Knot" it will stop it from sliding down!

That's not a bad idea. I guess if he knew what he was doing I wouldn't have to but I should have taken it to someone else.
