Thanks Rich, much appreciated.

Yes!!!!!!

I prefer the long bow. I shoot them all. I like the long bow because they are much quicker than a compound and a whole lot faster than a cross bow.

My kids took lessons at a place in Delray that just closed. One of the employees said he is re-opening as the old owners have moved back to Montana. If we get a re-opening notice I'll let ya know. The instructor was REAL good, I hope he re-opens. My daughter and older son are deadly with bows. At 25 yards they'll hit a heart size object over and over.

Sounds good Joe, let me know.

Gator guns does have three(?) lanes, I believe. I will check them out. Actually found out that Gander Mountain and Dicks also have lanes.

I'm going to look for a bow in the $300 to $500 range to start. I don't want to dig too deep in case I don't care for the sport. unlikely but, we'll see.

We got lucky....bought bows at the closeout....bought a BUNCH of stuff...under $250.00 bows and all.... I hear gator has a good instructor, but too far for me.

Wow, That's a steal.

Gator is off of Okeechobee and Military, not too far from me. After vacation, I'll check them out.

BttBBob instructs at Gators. He is an outstanding firearms instructor, but not sure whether he teaches archery.

Gator Gun and Archery has two of the best instructors in the state also, David Taylor is a State Champ and Larry is also a tournament ASA Instructor...Good people.

For members who don't know, Bob gives NRA classes at Gator, knows everyone there and bow hunts himself. He knows Gator better than anyone else I know. His endorsement is solid with me.
