Katie from Outside Magazine Gives Archery a Try

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Eric

From  

Sometimes winning just means not losing any blood
…
When I finally speak (“Hi, um…”), a woman tells us that Joe (he of self-proclaimed mediocrity) will be right with us.
…
Rylee usually beats me in everything, so I’m thrilled. “I guess I’m just better than you,” I say. Joe says, “Now, you’re just starting, this isn’t a competition,” but I say, “Yes, it is.”

I’ll regret that, soon.

You can read the whole article from Outside Online at GET ME OUT OF HERE: ARCHERY. Thanks to Katie and Outside for the article.

Meet El Blanco Loco

Posted on August 31, 2012 by Eric

Our new Standing Polar Bear Rinehart Target.

Meet El Blanco Loco (stop by and ask Andy where the name came from, it was his idea, well mostly…). He is one of our two new 3D targets that we added this week. With the addition of him and the Wolverine our 3D target range is now completely Rinehart targets. Our 30 target 3D range is complete with trees and other challenges including a moving target and is setup on Thursdays and Fridays for our hunter leagues. Our 3D targets are also available for open shooting ($10 per round) or as part of our Hunter’s Tune Up Package.

Our fall leagues will be starting in October. They are limited to 30 shooters per league, so sign up now to secure your spot in our 3D Hunter League or 3D Team League.

Our new Rinehart Wolverine target.

Fun for the kids

Posted on June 18, 2012 by Eric

One of our goals is to make sure we have a family friendly environment at Average Joes Archery. It is nice to hear from others that we are making that happen. Here is what Lollipopolis had to say:

After seeing my pal Clara’s photos from Average Joe’s Archery, I just had to find out more. (I’m nosey that way.) Bows and arrows. Turns out they’re not just for shooting apples off heads.

Don’t be put off by all the cute furry animals on the website. Average Joe’s offers classic bullseye targets too. The shooting ranges go out to 40 yards, but newbies can hone their shots at the 10-yard range (after a brief lesson). Clara scored a great Groupon deal, but you can find the everyday rates here. And they do birthday parties too! (May want to cross you-know-who off the invite list.) Shooters must be at least 7 years old and wear closed-toe shoes.

And I’ll bet there’s a certain little someone who’s just achin’ to go all William Tell.

Thanks for the kind words Amy!

Just an FYI, if you looking to stop by and give shooting a try our Archery Experience for Two is a great value and currently on sale. Includes all equipment rental and a pizza and pops.
