Chicago Bow Shop?

By

I know this post is a long shot, but figured I’d give it a try since Bow Shops in Chicago seem to resemble politics here in this city. Tell ya what ya want to hear but perform like shit.

I got a $1100 dollar Hoyt Nitrux from ‘glissons archery shop’ in Plainfield Illinois a few years back. NEVER GO HERE! I won’t even go into it, just look for some good reviews on his site before going in!

That being said, that was not the first shop that dicked me around. Yes I’m newer to archery, yes I picked it up quickly and skillfully. But there has been several shops that want my money, want to do a quick shit job, want to give failing advice so I bring back that money to them time and time again. How are you going to be in this sport, with limited Archery Shops and not try to keep customers around?!

Fox Valley archery has been my best bet. Before I get this thing restrung, does anyone have a preferred shop in Chicagoland area? I want one shop to go to, one trusted team, who actually cares and who actually has the skills proven.

Happy Holidays!

I would take a takedown recurve bow as my primary SHTF/bugout weapon

This is the type of opinion that is subject to change. In the near future, deteriorating political, economic, and social circumstances may result in many people having to rely on weapons to obtain food and defend themselves on a regular basis. Alternately, some people desire to leave civilization for a life of self-sufficiency in the wilderness, perhaps temporarily, and will encounter the same challenges. Generally, firearms are the preferred weapons among people who seek to prepare themselves for these events. I have owned and used a wide variety of firearms over many years and own several right now. If I had to pick one weapon to serve as a primary weapon (a full-size weapon intended to be used offensively, such as for hunting, and carried in the hand or by sling as opposed to a secondary weapon, which is complimentary, used defensively and carried on-person and possibly concealed, such as a handgun) I just might prefer my ILF recurve over any kind of rifle or shotgun. It's ad

Having Trouble Figuring out a Backstop Situation

By
When I was around thirteen, I got my first recurve bow, and every weekend I practiced really diligently. I feel like I got pretty good for a casual archer. But having to wait for the weekend and going to the same indoor range just to shoot my bow for an hour or two got boring. So as life got busier, I stopped shooting as much. Alas, this is my sad tale. Now I'm 22, I live in a new area, and got a new awesome 50# recurve bow! The only problem is, I don't have the time or the money to go to an indoor range, and I'd just run into the same problem. I feel like my backyard is big enough, I called the city and they said so long as I'm not shooting at other people's houses or if I have a large enough structure in the path of my shot, I was clear to shoot in my yard. At the moment I'm looking at shooting at the side of my garage where it's probably around 10ft wide and about as tall. I don't think I have quite 30ft of distance, maybe not even 25ft, but don'
