| - I'm just starting to get into archery, so I've visited half a dozen stores looking for good bows. Aside from 1 major big-box store, Phil's had the best selection of recurve bows in the Pgh area. In addition to [relatively] cheap beginner bows, he also carries top-of-the-line brands like Bear and Samick, which are gorgeous bows I'd love to get one day.
Phil helped me pick out a bow to try, strung it, and let me shoot until I tired. He also gave me some beginners tips on stance and form. There was no pressure to buy, and he encouraged me to stay until they closed if I wanted to.
As a closing note- Phil's Archery is an old store. I don't know when it opened, but I feel it would go great next to a Woolworth's. Old wooden display stands, small aisles, dense product placement, etc. Don't let any of that dissuade you from giving this place a shot. In addition to bows, there's a good selection of fishing gear, guns, and other hunting equipment.
If and when I finally decide to pull the trigger on a bow purchase, Phil's will definitely have my business.
