FullDraw_9x Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 I have recently moved to the Rochester area. What archery shops are recommended? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moho81 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Where about in Rochester? It will help narrow down the places you should visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullDraw_9x Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Thanks for the suggestions. I figured a 30-45 min drive would be needed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PREDATE Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Heritage outdoors in Phelps, Bullzeye in Bloomfield. The sister of the owner at heritage was my nurse at Thompson when my finger almost got lopped off. Of course she recommended them. I'll check it out soon.Also, my father in law said he had good experience with Jim's pro shop in Manchester.Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the place on the corner of county road 28 and Rt 96 , I stopped there several years ago . I wanted to buy some tubing for a peep sight that I had at the time . Because I wasn't spending a lot of money the guy didn't want to bother taking care of me . Never went back . I drove by there several days ago and it looked vacant . Is the place still in business ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomad Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) Our land is right down the road from Bullzeye ( that’s the correct spelling ) indoor and outdoor range ( free) . They've done minor adjustments for free while I waited , Ive got no complaints ,the Outdoor store has a ton of Carhartts and such . But the true bonus is two great craft breweries within a stones throw , Irish Mafia is nextdoor ( very good food too ) and Other Half is across 5/20 from them . Im in Webster it’s about 40 minute away , but I’m in that area all the time anyways . Edited July 17, 2020 by Nomad 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My FIL said he installed his peep and nock set for free and gave him a tour of the ranges. That was last year btw.Sent from my SM-S767VL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Don't know if the guy is still in Business but there was a Bow Shop in Marion called Guerin-Teed Archery . Had to call to find out when it was open 3388 Palmyra Rd Rt 21,Marion NY .......315-926-2828 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyslowhand Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) I've shopped at both Jim's and Guerin-Teed. FYI - Hard to know when owners will be working, but it's been my experience at both shops to deal with owners directly if possible! Another bow shop that's about 25mi east of Rochester is Archery Solutions. Just off Rte104 past Williamson. I bought a Bowtech from young owner years ago. Great service! Then they closed and are now have reopened. Had a neat indoor 2nd story loft to shoot at 3-D targets s/u on 1st floor. Now see he's opened an outdoors 3-D course and sells Mathews. In the past they had limited in-house inventory. Check hours before dropping in!!! Edited July 18, 2020 by nyslowhand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son was interested in buying a Bowtech Admiral with sight , stabilizer, quiver , etc . Nick was ready to drop at least $1500 on an outfitted Bowtech . The owner wasn't there but his dad and an assistant were . I told them what Nick wanted and asked for a price . I would have to wait for the owner . The assistant showed me around and I asked again for a price . The owner ( a young guy ) was sitting on the couch busy with phone calls . After waiting around for over an hour I decided to leave . Never went back . Never got a phone call as I had left my name and number . Apparently they were too busy to bother to sell an expensive Bow outfit . That was my experience with Archery Solutions on Town Line road in Williamson / Sodus . Good luck with them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike and his son, Louis, along with all the staff are the most knowledgeable and some of the nicest and most humble guys I've ever dealt with! I wouldn't go anywhere else! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullDraw_9x Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 I ended up going to Heritage Outdoors this morning to get my draw length adjusted (Bullzeye Archery was closed for the week). It seems to be a good archery shop with a staff that is willing to help even with small jobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knehrke Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Bullzeye was closed? Must be on vacation. Last time I stopped there a couple weeks ago, Rich mentioned that he was moving to being open seven days a week due to increased demand. He's been nothing but helpful to us and is a straight shooter. Nomad - my buddy Brian Gambell's Dad owns land really close to there, too. He used to have a great pond on his property, but it filled in over the years unfortunately.
