Despite growing up in OH, many of you know I just started shooting a bow a few years back. I guess high school sports were always interfering with early fall season. Since getting my first bow, I've managed to take nice bucks every year except the first. More importantly, I really enjoy shooting. I just dropped my bow off at SGO to get a new string. While there I shot a new Matthews Creed, and I'm thinking of making my starter bow, a SE, my back-up. Not b/c it doesn't function well enough, but I'm always interested in equipment
Where locally can I get my hands on more bows to test?
Is anybody here a member of the Tallahassee Archery Club or have any info re: them?
Any other archery clubs I should be aware of?
I know a couple guys on here were doing small group shoots just prior to season last year, anybody else shooting regularly?
Thanks for any advice or recommendations.

I deal with Trey at Seminole, I like and shoot Bowtech. Also if you want to book a hunt in the land of the GIANTS he runs a first class outfitter operation in Ill. close to Iowa ! I think Coral Reef scuba is a Hoyt dealer...that would be my @nd choice in bows.Tba has a tournament once a month, check them out online

Re: archery ?s
I can't wait Chris. Glad I took my bow in for a string when I did. I need to get back to shooting.
I have my two annual trips to big buck country, Licking County, OH, set. No outfitter, but my mom's cooking is hard to beat; though my dad may tell you it wasn't always that way.
Other than that I'll be hunting my place. No public land this year.
Are you and Hobbs shooting yet?
I shot the Hoyt's at lunch today. Still would like to try some of the others.

Re: archery ?s
Thanks. Nice looking bows. It appears McCoy's in Marianna is the closest dealer. I'll give them a call and see what they have in stock.

Re: archery ?s
Tallahassee Indoor Shooting Range has archery lanes and bows you can try.
Re: archery ?s
I’ve shot Mathews for about 7 years and then went to a Hoyt about 4 years ago. This year i bought a elite and it's amazing. All the bows now are nice but i would HIGHLYYYYYYY recommend shooting an elite before you make a purchase on one.
