Lewiston Archery Shop Located in Lewiston Idaho, “The Valley,” our staff has taken over where the shuttered local archery shops left off. We strive to make each sale a gratifying experience. The fact that we have been blessed with 5-20 yard lanes has helped reinvigorate the archery craze that has ran rampant through the local area for many years. With local archery clubs including EE DA HOW in Moscow and Hells Canyon Archers in the valley, 3D target shooting and indoor leagues have very large turnouts in the area. Bows we carry: Archery Lead: Roger Virgin I started my endeavor with archery back in the late 80’s with High Country Archery being my first bow, with a 50% let off (it seemed like 20%) I started shooting indoor league. Over the years I transitioned to different bows including Alpine, Hoyt, Bowtech and finally Mathews. With the nearest archery shop being 35 miles away I bought a bow press in the mid 90’s and started doing all my own work along with doing work for my friends and their friends too. In the mid 2000’s I started helping with Hunters Ed and became certified in Idaho for Archery Hunters Ed around 2008. 3D competitions. Although I am a big Mathews (which we carry) fan as I have shot a Conquest 4 for the last 8 years for league and 3D, I don’t really have a certain brand that excites me, but rather I get excited when I can get someone new to archery started in the sport. I stress that archery is not just all hunting, but can also be a good way to exercise and relieve stress whether shooting your own target or going to one of the many local The fact that we have 5 full 20 yard archery lanes in our store is a very big attraction to local archery enthusiasts. We rent out lane time and have the opportunity to run classes and possibly leagues in our store. 31 With our years of archery experience, Dylan and I look forward to helping out anyone interested in the sport whether a veteran or novice. The fact that we are adding new product everyday I believe within a year we will be stocking most of the name brand archery products that people desire. This will make us the target pro shop within a 100 mile radius, which is vital to the local communities with there being so many archers in this area.
