Went to Yoj Sports / Andover Hunting & Fishing today and was very pleased! Met the young owner who is extremely helpful and outgoing. I needed to get my Darton crossbow repaired and while I was there purchased some bolts and (2) crossbow cases which were on sale. Small store but packed with just about everything you could need for hunting and fishing. The store however is about to double in size soon from the expansion which is about to take place. This owner's heart and soul is into his business and it shows with how he interacts with ever customer. Left happy to spend my money and enjoyed the free bottled water me and the family was offered The prices were fair and owner seems be willing to negotiate if you find a better price elsewhere. I should also mention I traveled 1 1/2 hours to get to this store because it is difficult to find a Darton dealer near my area. I'm waiting to get my crossbow back and will post back to report how that experience went as well. So far very happy with Yoj Sports / Andover Hunting & FishingAgain have to thank YOJ/ Andover Sporting goods! I recently used my Darton crossbow for the start of fall bow season but didn't get to hunt for long, harvested a doe on private land Sunday 2nd day into season and a decent looking 8 pointer Tuesday 4th day into season. Each deer taken with 1 shot and both expired quickly with the accurate shot from the Darton fireforce crossbow recently repaired at Andover Sporting goods/ YOJ Sports. I was actually back in the store today and brought in my Darton 3900 compound bow to be set up being I have never owned a compound bow before. The bow technician there took his time explained everything about the bow basics and products I was purchasing, how everything works and set me up perfectly! I went there today figuring I would drop off the bow and pick it up in a few days or week like most shops but no he took care of my draw length set up, kisser on string, peep sight, sights, stabilizer, drop away arrow rest and new arrows in a matter of a couple of hours! I also purchased a quiver and bow case. The time which tech spent alone I would value at $150-300 dollars (with out parts) but he was going to charge $50 for his time which he actually discounted at no charge. Let me remind people I travel 1 hour to come to this place and believe me its well worth it. So excited about my new set up as soon as I got to my construction yard I started to take a few shots. First from 10 yards then at 20 yards. The sights were not adjusted yet but I wanted to see if I could get a good group? I'll remind people I haven't shot a compound bow since I was about 12 and now 41 its been awhile. Well with the great explanation of what and how to shoot it and the excellent set up from the tech (who was a pro bow shooter and was actually on the Darton team) my first shots at 10 yards group within an inch and pretty much the same at 20 yards. After a little practice I'll be super accurate. I would have spent hours, days and possibly weeks trying to learn and figure things out when this tech at Andover Sporting goods put the knowledge and product together for me in a couple of hours! Great job recommend this store to everyone you wont be disappointed. And for the record I'm not related or was friends with anyone affiliated with this business. I'm writing that because it might seem I writing a an exaggerated post when in fact just a very happy customer! Thanks again.
