10 stars if was available. Look this is the best Bow shop in the state hands down. I drive 100 miles each way and probably pass 10 other bow shops to get here. I have never had a problem with work being done nor had a issue the staff. However let’s be honest I have a Matthews which is what they sell so i don’t go in there but once every two years or so to have a new string installed. That’s because Matthews is the best bow you can get but that another review. Please please visit here even your not going to buy a Matthews because they do work on ALL Bows no matter the make. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Bud and staff
I just recently purchased the new 2020 VXR from the Archery Shop and the owner Bud and his assistant Scott are second to none in knowledge and experience. They both took time to ensure that my bow was properly setup and made sure I was completely satisfied with the setup before I left. This is the third bow that I have purchased from Mr. Bud and his service after the sale is unquestionable. I bought my son the Mission this past Christmas and both Bud and Scott have spent a great deal of time tuning and helping him practice with his bow during the off season. I will hopefully be able to post a pic soon of him proudly posing with his first Archery buck!! Thanks for being such great people!!!!
Bud is one of the best guys I know. More like family to me than just a bow shop. Always nice and the same day in and day out. Known him over 15 years and never once had an issue with him or his services. Refer him to anyone I know to get what you want done and at a reasonable price. Thanks bud for being a true friend!
Ive been coming here for years. If I could give it 10 stars I would. Bud and all his staff are extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. This is the only place I recommend. Ive lived in quite a few states and been to well over 20 shops and Bud and his store are by far the best. All these negative reviews sound like the the child of a man that threw a fit because Bud would not sell him a bow that had a deposit on it. If you need help with set up or with help getting better head it. They can do all of it and more. Great shop and great people.
I bought a bow from a friend. This is my first bow. Buds Archery gave it the once over. Helped me with a couple upgrades and repairs. First class customer service. Very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Definitely the place to go for your archery needs
My bow started giving me fits recently so I called ahead to The Archery Shop and asked if they could fit me in during the busy fall season. Mr. Bud graciously fit me in today and had the bow tuned up ready to go in no time at all. Great indoor range and even better staff, Bud and Scott were quick to offer sound advice all while allowing me to work with my bow on the range in peace. Will definitely be going back for all my archery maintenance needs, highly recommend if you’re looking for straight shooters with no bull.
Everyone in there is very polite and helpful. Good range and prices seem decent. I will definitely be returning here again.
I have been dealing with Bud for over 20 years. I bought a bow from him 18 years ago and my first Mathews last week. He and Scott did a great job setting up the bow and it shoots like a dream. In my dealings with the Archery shop since it opened, Bud has always been willing to take time and help in any way he can and his prices have always been fair.
Just moved down here from New England. Been too many bow shops in my life and haven’t yet had the customer service that Bud provides at his shop. He’s more than happy to help with all of your needs and is very fair with his prices. All around great place.
They were extremely helpful with ordering my bow as well as getting it setup, and then making sure everything was working like I wanted it to. Definitely worth your time to stop here for you archery needs
Bud and his staff are the only ones I allow to work on my Matthews Halon. They’re hands down the best! They’re honest, fair priced, and great people. There’s a reason they’ve been in business for so long.
If you’re into archery and you’re within 5 hours of here you’ve no doubt heard of Bud and his excellent shop. Been shopping here for a few years and Bud has been not only an excellent person to deal with but I’d also call him a friend. Do yourself a favor and check this place out!
We keep excellent records, we have never tuned a bow for the gentlemen with the claim that we could not time his bow. If any customer is not happy with our services all the customer has to do is express to us that he is not happy. We work in front of customers a majority of the time. They can shoot the bow in a indoor range. Paper rack available. No such thing as a unhappy customer. We guarantee all our work. Money back guaranteed. No questions asked.
The 50 minute drive to get to the shop was well worth it. Great knowledgeable guys.
I have known Bud for quite a few years. He is a man of honor and integrity and it shows in the way he does business. The most knowledgeable person in his field that I have ever met
Best bow shop ever! Very experienced and knowledgeable. I’ll never buy archery equipment anywhere else.
Amazing archey shop. I have bought two bows from Bud he always goes out of his way to make sure everything is set up right and tuned. He s helped me many time look up and special order stuff i wanted! I wouldnt go anywhere else!!
This place is way above standard of the norm. Outstanding quality, personality and telling all those hunting tales. There technical knowledge in the products they sell is above none other! Life time customer from me and my hunting buddy Casey Wallace without a doubt!! Mission by Matthews MXR rocks!
Extremely courteous and knowledgeable staff. Customer service was exemplary. Very down to earth owner and just the sort of place I can see myself becoming a regular at. Due to many life changes, I hadnt shot a bow in many, many years, and had forgotten quite a lot. Staff did their best to help me get back into the saddle by finetuning bow, and improving upon my form and aim while in the indoor range, all instruction and use of the range was free of charge, these guys just want to see you succeed. It isnt often that I am impressed by customer service, and I am so happy I happened to stop by this place because I will never go anywhere else from this point forward. Dont know what these 1 star reviews are smoking, but they sound like insufferable know-it-alls that make business transactions a complete hell for everyone involved. If you arent a complete idiot devoid of all social skills, this shop will have no trouble winning you over as one of the best in the region.
Great folks at Bud’s. I will continue to buy my Mathews bows there. They treat you right.
Buds is the best place to bye a bow for all ages I went there today to get my fist real bow and I am so happy with it he let me practice as many times as I needed he was very very nice about helping me practice bye the time I left I felt like I was ready thx bud .Btw it is Riley
If you’re looking for anything archery related at all and want the best service out there, go see Bud at The Archery Shop! Thanks for the tune up and the tips, Budro! Can’t wait to stick one!
Customer service is second to none. You really feel like family at Buds Archery shop.
Great shop, really professional. Brought my my girlfriends bear and my pse bow in to get tuned. They did a incredible job. Thank you for your service, I certainly plan on doing business again.
Fantastic store, helpful crew, indoor range for testing equipment.
Bud and Scott are always knowledgeable and fair, and treats his customers family! Hands down best shop in the lowcountry.
Wonderful service and had a blast at the outdoor range
This is the best archery shop that I have ever been to. The nice people running the place know what they are doing and they know how to help you with any problem you might have. Everyone there was kind and friendly and were will to help out a novice like me. They gave me great tips and suggestions for what I needed. I will never go to a different archery shop again, this place is the best.
Very helpful and honest information on assessing the condition of an old bow. Did not try to up sell me or make me feel dumb for being a novice to archery. Prices were better than big chain stores. Shop is well organized and clean.
Ive been into archery for over 20 years and this guy Bud knows nothing about archery. He may be fooling amateurs but he aint fooling me. And he has a terrible attitude
Exceeded my expectations! Quality service and knowledge from beginning to end. Was well worth the 1.5 hour drive.
I have nothing but good things to say about my experience here!
I started shooting a bow almost 30 years ago. I bought my first one at The Archery Shop. The experience was probably one of the best customer service experiences I have ever had for any purchase. I have been going to see Bud for every purchase for myself and my 4 children ever since. I could not imagine buying from anyone else. Fantastic shop, fantastic service, and fantastic people! Great job Archery Shop! Here’s to the next 30 years!
This is a great place for archery. So far have purchased two Mathews compound bows with all the trimmings..... have also ordered two recurve bows. Would highly recommend this shop. They have amazing knowledge and make you feel welcome and at home. They also have an indoor range.
I didn’t know much about archery but had some interest. Bud set me up wit a bow along with all the gear I would need and I have taken three Monster bucks since. The man is one of the nicest and most willing to help a rookie like myself that you will ever deal with. Every time I visit Bud’s Archery shop I am greeted with a smile and receive the best customer service you can find. Not only have I received a high level of service but have witnessed many more customers receive that same level of service. I’ve been to other places locally where you get treated like you are a bother to them and they don’t have time for you. Not at Bud’s, they will take the time to answer any question you have regardless of what it is. Personally I don’t care if something may cost a little more, Bud’s Archery Shop is where I’ll spend my money. They carry quality products and gear. It’s not often you can find a place of business where you get treated like family and have the feeling of being welcome as you do when visiting Bud’s Archerey Shop. I encourage you to swing on by one day if you haven’t already and see for yourself. Go take a look and enjoy some free conversation if nothing else.
I bought my first bow from Buds and my love of the sport blossomed! He made sure I had the correct fit and now for my needs . Excellent customer service! The only place I would go . Thank you Bud!
I’ve been doing business here for nearly 20 years and have purchased several bows from Bud. I will be the first to admit that I do NOT believe some of the reviews that have been posted here. Buds prices are very competitive and the man knows how to tune a bow. I won’t buy a bow or have mine serviced from anywhere else beecause he’s earned my business and the guy is a class act.
Ive been dealing with Bud Westmoreland for 22 years. He is a great guy and very knowledgeable. He provides top notch service, has great equipment and only sells quality products. There are plenty of other facilities to take your bow or buy one but The Archery Shop is by far the best !!!!!!
Wonderful atmosphere wonderful costumer service. If youre looking at getting into the archery world look no further. This is the shop that will get you deep into it. Bud and everyone there from family to friends are willing to help in any way possible. Theres a great indoor range as well as a outdoor range to accommodate youre archery lessons. You will not be disappointed in the service or knowledge youll find here.
Bud treats a stranger as family when they walk in the door. Ive seen it with my own eyes. He has very good customer service and I wouldnt ever send anyone anywhere else. From beginners to experts he is the one to go see .
Bud is very knowledgeable and helpful, I have done a lot of business with him and will continue. It feels like family when you walk through the door. Bud is Top notch!Matthew Gaskins
The place for the serious bow hunter. Bud Westmoreland, the owner, is super helpful and very knowledgeable. Ask to see his big Pennsylvania buck.
Used to live in Summerville and bought my first bow from Bud. He is a fantastic guy and always does you right. Whenever I have to get my bow worked on I will be making the 3 hour trek back to Summerville to see him. Would never buy a bow from anyone else or have another shop work on my bow.
I have bought a mission bow and a mission crossbow from bud. He is absolutely a customer first no bs guy. Only place I’d ever go!
Buds a awesome guy to deal with, he knows archery and bows better than anyone I know.
I have been going to the Archery Shop for 10 plus years first as a compound shooter and then as a recurve shooter. There is no one more knowledgeable of archery and setting up and repairing bows than Bud Westmoreland. I have taken my grandson and granddaughter into the shop and they have always been treated friendly and with respect. I highly recommend The Archery Shop and Bud to anyone who has an interest in Archery and archery equipment of any kind. (Wilson Inabinet)
All around great shop range to inventory, very helpful and friendly staff!
I got my first bow from Mr. Bud about 20 years ago. Ive been going to his shop ever since. He also took the time to teach me to shoot.
Honestly place lived up to its reputation guy behind the counter was a d-bag and was not helpful at all glad PSA is in town!
Re: Justin Jones/ Justin Smith Reviews(Please see all Jones/Smith Reviews for Perspective)Greetings,My name is Joe Flood. I met Bud Westmoreland (Owner) as a customer by way of a friends recommendation over 20 years ago. In those twenty plus years I have seen no less than 9 outdoor/sporting goods businesses open and close in the surrounding area. The Archery Shop has remained.This brings me to why I was motivated to create this post.Having over twenty years of professional/personal interaction with someone you will see them in a variety of situations. Never once in twenty plus years, regardless of circumstance, have I witnessed Bud treat anyone with anything less than absolute dignity and respect. In fact, a little research will reveal that Bud is not only generous with his time and knowledge at his place of business, he freely gives of his time to help the community at large. This is something a man of Bud Westmorelands integrity would never seek recognition for, but it is a fact. It is because of Buds love of the sport and his caring for his community that he remains successful. In all my years of interaction with Bud Westmoreland and The Archery Shop I have seen nothing but honest business and genuine care and attention to his customers. I am proud to be a customer of The Archery Shop, but more importantly, after having the honor of knowing Bud Westmoreland for over twenty years, I am proud to call this man my friend.So... In closing, the TL:DR is this.If you are in need of equipment, repairs, instruction or range time, I strongly encourage you to call, or better yet, visit Bud and The Archery Shop. You wont be disappointed and may make life long friend.Thanks for taking time to read.Best regards,Joe Flood
Has been taking care of my bows for almost 5 years now. Great customer service, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, feels like family when you walk in the door.
Buds Archery shop is a fantastic place thats very easy going and no skill at archery is required. Bud is a master at teaching the art of archery from traditional, to recurve, to compound. Bud will not push a bow onto you trying to make a sale. When you enter the building you will most likely see a bunch of old guys talking about hunting. Bud treats people like family no matter who you are.
We are new to the archery world and our son really wanted to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow. We found this shop and are beyond happy we did. Bud not only has been giving lessons to our son but when I told him he was autistic he said we dont treat him any different. He’s one of us now. I would recommend this shop to anyone. From lessons to helping us order our son his first bow and arrow, Bud has been amazing. Our son finally found something he loves to do and with Bud being as patient as he is, our kid loves it even more. Thank you soo much!!
I called this shop and inquired about restringing my sons Bear Apprentice II youth bow, I instantly could tell the person on the phone was faking first hand knowledge about the bow, then I was quoted a price of $150.00 for the string and $50.00 foe installation. Thats $200.00 to restring a youth bow that only costs $300.00 new. I ended up purchasing a string online for $40.00 and paying a stiff $20.00 for installation. Had he not tried to rip me off I might have spent considerable more setting up my son with some new arrows and a tune up. I would not recommend this shop to anyone.
I had a very bad experience with this shop and the owner bud he did not tie my peep sight and when I asked him about it he said you have to shoot your bow a couple hundred times until you tie in your peep which is not true. thats very dangerous to shoot a bow with a peep sight that is not tied in it can fly out and hit your Riser Ricochet and blind you. he also frayed my strings trying to get the peep sight in the string and i had to replace my strings. also he told me that if you buy a bow from him he will set it up free of no charge and he will also match anyones price on any of the accessories for the bow which he lied about because the sight I got from him he charged me $315 and that sight was only $284 from every other shop and even online. and he did the same thing when my quiver I bought from him he charge me an extra $40 then every other store was charging when I asked him about it he got really mad and cussed at me and told me to get the f*** out of his store. This guy was very mean and rude also he is not very experienced with archery he told me he has been doing this for 30 years but I have watched YouTube videos on archery for only one week and seem to know more than him there are other shops you can go to like Field and Stream, Atlantic game and Tackle, and Palmetto State Armory
Hadnt shot a bow in years and went in with a buddy to see what they had. Within minutes I was holding a bow and shooting a three inch group. Great place, extreemly knowledgable. Lots of guys kicking around hunting stories and talking shop joking. If your looking for a new hobby or anything related to archery this is a good place to go.
Took my nephew there today to inquire about archery lessons. They were pleasant and explained everything. My 10 year old nephew received a lesson and the instructor was patient and did a great job. My nephew is looking forward to returning.
I went to hang out with some family members here. I hadnt fired a bow in 20 years since i was a kid. While there, I was allowed to use the range at no fee, which is apparently their norm. Incredibly, I received expert mentorship from masters and intermediates raising the value of the experience beyond measure. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, while the mentors were professional and courteous. I didnt know a place like this existed. I also didnt expect to find a hobby in archery.
Absolute outstanding....our 10 year old grand daughter and our daughter have been visiting us from the Florida Keys and wanted to shoot a bow and take an archery lesson...we made a reservation at the Archery shop and the experience was without a doubt nothing less than OUTSTANDING and I absolutely recommend you visit them....
Excellent customer service!! Very personal, never made to feel like just another customer. Highly skilled and very experienced staff. Only place to go for all archery needs!
Great service! Bud is an amazing guy and he will help you with anything you bring him! He has an amazing indoor range and an amazing work area! Highly recomend Mr. Bud!
Great place. Very welcoming and helpful. Overall very good experience. Will definitely recommend to someone new or experienced.
Top knotch equipment and service. I’ve bought multiple bows from them over the last 16 years.
Much better bow service and knowledge than any boxstore.
Best archery shop around
The staff were very kind, helpful and knowledgeable. It was my first time there and it was a great and fun experience!!!!
Great place for all your needs Bud is awesome and very helpful for experienced and non experienced archers
Buds has been my go to archery service and supply for several years. The service and friendliness is exactly what Im looking for when tuning and shopping.
Very helpful. I will definitely be going back.
Bought several Bows from Mr Bud. He always is very helpful!
Wonderful people here, we had so much fun!
We LOVE the owner!!! Hes awesome!!!
Im an archery newcomer and Bud couldnt have been better to deal with.I went in with a bare bow I didnt get from him and a handful of accessories I bought on-line. All I bought from him was a release, arrows, rest and peep housing, yet he installed everything for me. Not only that, he helped sight the bow and offered some tips to improve my form. The atmosphere is so friendly even one of his customers stopped to help me out as well.I dont live in the area (I actually live in Canada and am here visiting), but Ill make it a point to hit up his shop whenever Im in town. This sport can seem a little overwhelming for a newbie like me, but Bud happily answered all my questions and went above and beyond to lend a hand.
Went in for information & was very helpful. Will visit again.
Pleasant and informative. Glad I went to them.
New string.New release.Thank you for the professional service.
Great service and very kid friendly
Great teachers and good prices. Started the hour and a half missing the target and ended with bullseyes.
Very friendly. You basically get a free membership if you buy one of their bows
