  • wheres atkins archery and why is it bad?

 

He is located in Burrville and I'll let you figure that out the rest for yourself.

 

The unfortunate thing is we only have two pro shops in all of northeast NY (not including the box stores)

 

You may want to try Ferari's in Carthage or drive up north to Northwoods in Potsdam.  But that is up to you.

 

I'm going to take a look at a shop near Pulaski called Ed's and see what that is like.

Welcom! I live a little north of you in Sommerville NY. Tons of stateland in our area. I too am looking forward to continue to develop my son as an archery hunter. He is only 11 now. But through him i have found that fun and excitmenet once again in the "smaller"" things, or atleast things that i have gotten away from over the years. Things like teaching weapon safety and learning how to shoot to learning how to properly sight in a rifle scope. Skeet shooting. Looking forward to taking him small game hunting and rekindling that flame from years ago.

Hello Rick...Welcome to the site...Great information from other NYers.  I don't live near you but I try to get up in that area at least once a year to snowshoe hare hunt on Fort Drum.  Lots of great looking forests up your way!  Good luck this season!
