Sorry guys, I forgot to mention there is a 20 yard indoor range at the shop. There is bowhunter league and a five spot league there during the winter months. They start up in January after the hunting season ends. The spots league is on Friday and the bowhunter league runs when you can get in on Tues through Thursday. Both run 15 weeks at $6.00 a round.

There is also Smokey River Outfitters in quinnesec right next to iron mountiain, he is a hoyt and matthews dealer. He has a great selection, an indoor range, stands, clothes, fishing gear(a little), hha, trophy ridge, tons of rests etc etc etc etc.

Also both indoor range and techno hunt.

Pretty good, his name is wayne.

There is also a new one in Esky. But no range, just a hoyt dealer. he is the marbles retail outlet guy next to the paper mill. Smokey is more knowledgable.

I stopped in to Straight Line this summer while I was on vacation in the UP and was very impressed with the entire operation-- knowledgable people, great indoor range, and nice line of products on hand. I wanted to get my bow and shoot a few arrows. I would not hesitate going there for advice or service when in the area.

One more thing I forgot to mention about Straight Line, Randall Wellings will be there end of November early December if you are interested in coaching. He is from Australia and is a Master Coach. He will be here on a semi perminant basis. If you are not fimiliar with Mr Wellings, do a search and you will find his acomplishments and credencials. He is a super coach with the tourney records to back him up. Plus he is one heck of a good guy!

Maple Lane in Skandia, I know they deal with Mathews, so that may be a good try as well.
