    Plug for John Reimer at Island Outfitters

    I went in to see John today and he was VERY generous with his time and knowledge. I got the short course ("Bows and Arrows 101") lol but it was information overload. Great guy and very helpful.

    When he sells a new bow package he sets everything up customizing to fit you personally and teaches you the basics of shooting. They have a target area so it is all live tuning! I will probably buy from him when the time comes!

    John is definitely going to build the archery sales at Island Outfitters. He knows his stuff, by gum!

    Great addition to the staff. Not to take anything away from Steve but John is the man.

    Another satified customer here.

    John helped me set up my bow with a whisker biscuit rest for the GT arrows I got from BowWalker last year. He also gave me some very useful instruction on form and technique. My shooting is already showing improvement!

    John's experience and friendly service will certainly compliment the great service that I've gotten from Steve and Al.

    who is this GUY, never heard of him or seen at any shoots { steve },does he shoot a bow??
    If he's selling bows he should know something about them and arrows and any good shop { Bucky's, Tyee marine and others } should " custom " fit and help you tune the bow to you, unless you go to Walmart or the likes.
    Maybe we will see him at the shoots 2007!!!!!

    SHOOT WHAT CHA BRUNG:
    my release talks to me!!!

    John is a newby to the Island and also to Victoria. He was the guru at Corlane Sports in the Central/Northern Interior. Not sure exactly where Corlane Sports is.

    He will custom fit a bow to the buyer as good as or better than most. He also and more importantly, won't over sell you...........as a lot will try to do.

    If anyone is in there in the next couple of days - invite him to the Malahat shoot on Dec. 3 and also invite him to the Nanaimo Turkey Shoot on Dec. 10.

    I'll mention it to him as well. Maybe we can "shame" (?) him into showing up? See what he's made of.........
