I have a 1/4 section of land north of westlock, I usually go out there every couple weeks. I haven't shot my bow out there this year yet. It's a bit of a drive, about 1-1/2hr, I usually spend 2-3 days at a time out there.

We need a Archery Pro Shop on the southeast of Edmonton that know their bows and treat customers with respect. Lately a new archery shop opened on the Northwest of Edmonton. I Know there is a lot of people on the south side of Edmonton, Leduc and Beaumont that would welcome a real Pro Shop.
Thank you.

Yes, this would be awesome. It seems like the archery shops are in the NW area of the city of North West of the city.

Parkland bowbenders. Usually there are two loops of 20 3d targets and a static range to 50 yrds.

Wow! Went in today for the first time for a look see. Both Dave and Carson greeted us with big smiles and hellos. What a great atmosphere. Shot for an hour or so. Really good lighting. Solid backstops that made it easy to pull arrows. People joking and laughing. Saw many parents with little kids in there plus quite a few of us big kids too! Real easy to find. Great map on their website. Well done, Jim and Joe. You couldn't have picked two better representatives for JimBows Archery than Dave and Carson. Great hosts and very knowledgeable !

Oh, I'm pretty sure there will be a next time. That's a fun place. Are you going to join their target league? We'll give you a shout next time before we go.

I received my first bow from my family for Christmas set it up and shot it a bit in the basement (10yds)
Went to Jim bows an shot it there today at both 10 and 20yards. Carson was excited and extremely pleasant to deal with
Gave me a few beginners tips and things to try. The place was clean bright and had a welcoming environment. I will be going back and shooting there regularly

The shop is great, lanes are spacious and lighting good. I am willing to bet that after the ata show the shop will be in full swing and set up with inventory like calgary. Good to see Carson and Dave running the shop and know it will be a hit. I am sure glad we have the selection and quality of shops we do in alberta, I am currently in vancouver and heading to Kelowna shortly and there is a severe lack of ranges at both cities. Went to one range in Van and was told no room to shoot due to 4 people booked a fun shoot. Was quite surprised at the lack of ranges in BC.

Only one I know of that hits 40 yards is CAC down south, my wife riding barn I can get 60 yards in
I need a few more 3d targets though to make a course.
