He also offers after-school programs, camps, and training for all skill levels, for both youth and adults. We highly recommend it!

Store is organized by outdoor activities--fishing, hunting, camping, etc I especially love the foods section that includes chili kits, rubs, jerky and sauces. A downside is often the absence of shelf pricing. I've left many things behind due to this. Lots of wonderful clothing, especially for cold weather--thermals, fleeces, fllannels. Has outdoor appliances like dehydrators, grills, tools. Even has a toys section. Saw some great sales today $15 fleece jackets, 25% off lots of clothing, etc. Certainly worth a gander for everyone.

This is a review for their archery department…read more I decided recently that I wanted to get back into archery (which for me means traditional target shooting with a recurve bow). After receiving terrible service at a local shop in Gainesville, my boyfriend (who was buying this for me as a birthday present) and I came here. Upon walking into that section they really only have compound bows for bowhunting on display and some very expensive all wood recurves hanging behind the counter. There were plenty of people behind the counter though, and one man asked if we needed any help. We told him what we were looking for and that I was a novice archer who had last shot about 6 years ago. He promptly pulled a box out from underneath the counter, told us the price and asked if it was in our range. We said yes and he began putting it together for us. After he had put it together and showed me how it was done, he had me draw it. I said it was fine and more than I shot in High School, which is what I'm looking for since my archery teacher was always pushing me to try a stronger resistance. He then showed me a product called a "whisker biscuit" (I know, sounds lewd right?), which is basically a special attachment to help with nocking the arrow. It holds the arrow in place, meaning it won't fall out mid-release...which I agree is a good idea to have for a novice...especially since this has happened to me! So he attached that on for us. I asked him about a sight and he led us over to where they sell them and selected one to recommend at my re quest of a reasonably priced one. He picked one out and I looked at it, and really liked it! Fiber optic sight with several different pins to mark different distances so there is no need for adjustment once you set them. After attaching everything we had picked out he asked if we need it taken back apart and we did so he obliged. He let us know there was a sale on some arrows and we picked them up as well; he cut them to the proper size and then we were ready to check out! I know it kind of sounds like he was trying to upsell me on a lot of things, but he did listen to our concerns about price and we knew exactly what we were buying. When recommending a product he told us exactly what it was and why it was a good idea, but never said it was a necessity. At any time we could have requested something cheaper or different and I'm sure he would have obliged us with no problem. Great experience, excellent service. Will definitely come back if I need anything. I'm just sad they're in Orlando and not Gainesville :(

I came out with my wife for a private shooting instruction, and tried various handguns. There is a membership that is under $400 to start for the year, there are public days here too, and those are days when there is a crowd and you may have to wait a while to shoot. You bring your own gun, ammunition, and targets so you're using your own product. There are some rules that you must obey, or you'll be asked to leave. Bring some earplugs and eyegear whether it's your everyday glasses or some eye protection, as you don't want to suffer temporary deafness or get anything in your eyes. Fun fact, due to the range being rural, you will see some wildlife, whether on the path to the range, or on the range itself. No you can't shoot the wildlife!

The Intro Classes are offered every Saturday, and you must take one before you are allowed to take even the beginning archery classes here. The area the school is located in is a little bit sketchy, but don't let that deter you. In the Intro Class, the owner Bryce does a brief overview of different bows, and rules, and gear, and then you actually get to shoot. After taking the intro, you have the option of signing up for beginner classes (or you can test 'up' if you are experienced already). They offer classes 4 times a week, and it's either $25/class or $80 for the whole month with unlimited classes. That is definitely the way to go, because you will need to/ want to practice, practice, practice! The building this is in also doubles as a martial arts dojo, so no shoes are allowed on the mat. It gets very, very warm inside, with only fans to keep it cool, so dress accordingly. You shoot at targets about 10 ft away. TAS provides all the gear you need: bow, arrows, arm guard, finger tab, and targets. They even have bows for lefties like me! During class, the two instructors walk up and down the line behind the shooters giving tips and comments to improve one's form and shooting skills. They also have an arrangement with The Archery Shop on N. Florida Ave., so some of the classes are held there. It's fun to switch things up and shoot at this location, because this range is about 20 ft long. I have enjoyed myself immensely taking these classes, and highly recommend this school if you have an interest in archery.
