It's a small shop staff wise so you may have to wait a bit sometimes if there's lots of customers in the but any wait is worth the expert personal service you receive. Still shooting my Hoyt Vectrix that I bought her years ago and I can still punch through deer out to 40 yards (my limit). This is my 2022 buck shot with the Hoyt, Gold tip arrows, QAD rest and trophy ridge 5 pin sight all set up by Jon himself. NEVER shop for bows anywhere else! Good luck out there!

I have been stopping into Little Jon's Archery since 2013, so this is a review on my culmination of…read morevisits. In 2013, I decided that it was time to upgrade my bow. I had been shooting an old Mathews that I had been using for about 10+ years. Knowing that I was going to need a bow that had a longer draw length (I am 6'5") I did some research before I arrived. The staff is knowledgeable at Little Jon's but I think it's really a good idea to look at what they carry and do some research before you go in to pick a bow and shoot them. I was between a Mathews and a Bowtech. I ended up going with a Bowtech Experience. The owner was very helpful with assisting me select a bow and answered any questions I had. I was unsure on what brands and types of accessories I wanted. Although I had a general idea of what I wanted, I didn't have anything set in stone. The team was very helpful with selecting a sight (5-pin), arrow rest and arrows. I picked out my quiver and stabilizer without any assistance. When my bow was put together it was paper tuned to select the best arrow for the bow. Coincidentally the arrow that was the best was also one of the most expensive, Gold Tip. If I had to do it again, I would go with less expensive arrows. Since I am not going out West and attempting 70 yard shots, I believe that a less-expensive (not cheap though) arrow would work just fine on whitetail and turkey at 20-50 yards. This is the set-up I ended up going with: Bowtech Experience, AXT Headhunter 5-pin sight, Trophy Taker Smackdown drop away arrow rest, Trophy Ridge Stabilizer, Fuse quiver, Gold Tip arrows and Dirt Nap Gear D.R.T broadheads (not sold in their store). All together my set up was around $1,500 for everything. I have been back with my bow several times and the staff are always willing to help out and answer questions, but sometimes it takes a while to get help. On a couple of occasions I have waited 30 min to an hour to be helped. But that's if you are going during the busy time of the year (also those that help you in the store are most of the times the ones working on bows) Little Jon's also has an outdoor range that I have used as well as video archery. If you are looking for some very personal help and years of experience (owner) you should go to Little Jon's. I got tired of being helped at the big box stores by employees that knew less than I did. Check them out!

If you're looking for a skilled e-bike specialist who is equipped to handle anything from basic…read moremaintenance and small repairs to significant overhauls and major customizations the Cargo Bike Shop is the place for you. In addition to maintenance and repairs, the staff have the mindset of a teacher and will assist in the selection of the best bike for your needs--even if it means pointing out a product sold by a different bike shop. That said, the selection of quality bikes (cargo or standard, e-bike or not) which the Cargo Bike Shop sells is amazing, so the likelihood you'll find better equipment elsewhere is low. Following a very poor experience with another bike shop in Madison I needed to find an honest mechanic willing and able to service my cargo e-bike. Tim, at the Cargo Bike Shop fit the bill. Though I did not purchase my bike from him, he and his staff were helpful and far more knowledgeable about e-bikes and equipped to service them than any of the other shops I'd visited. Following a great experience with him on some basic maintenance, Tim helped me scope out a fairly large drive-train customization. Which in the end turned out even better than I'd hoped. His communication before and during the project was stellar: Tim warned me beforehand of the possibility of issues with the availability of some parts I'd selected, and successfully sourced the parts when the sole supplier was less than responsive. Even with a significant amount of extra effort on Tim's part, the final price was fair and the quality of work second-to-none.

Prices for repairs are competitive with the Madison bike shops. Most recently, when the shifter on my bike was giving my problems, they found a replacement and got my back on the road in less than 24 hours. (Unlike the Trek Store on the West side that was unable to address this same problem, but that is a story for another review). The staff members are friendly and knowledgeable. They have made some minor adjustments to my daughter's bike at no charge on several occasions. The owner does seem to be on the phone a lot, so several times when I've dropped in I've had to wait for him to finish his call to get helped.

I was reminded of them in an ad just after my bike was stolen and I was in need of a new one. Their selection of actual bikes is really dependent on what recent donations they've gotten, and I happened to get lucky when I was looking. If you don't need a bike, they also have a selection of used parts you can dig through if you want to try something out on your bike or even build one (they also have some new parts). Mechanics are very knowledgeable. Haven't had a chance to do any of their classes. A friend who used to live here really liked them as well, and they have a good mission.
