i go to archery specialists. its by maple grove osseo boarder not to big but not to small, great ppl

[mncowboy]

sorry lentz, i went to them once and will never go back! i was looking to get a bow and knew what i wanted, the do sell the bow i wanted but he was very pushy and wouldnt stop saying oh no you want a pse. nothing wrong with a pse, just something i didnt want and at the poundage he said i should shoot. in words he rubbed me wrong.
i live in princeton so they would of been ALOT CLOSER than bawana, i have sent 5 people to bawana to look at bows and all 5 have bought from them!

did you talk to a older person that workes there i dont rly like him thats the only one i could see doing that he has hard hearing

[Mayfly]

I think I know who you guys are talking about and he is very high strung and really interesting to deal with. I have heard the same thing a lot.

So are you interested in outdoor ranges?? There are a ton of nice ones that aren't far at all. Oakdale has a great one, there is a really good one in cottage grove and up in Arden Hills/Shoreview there is one as well. That one needs new bales, they ruin your arrows.

What exactly are you looking for?

[Randy Kaar]

They have a nice range across form Keller park in Maplewood. Outdoor but nice.

hard to beat bwana's if your in st paul.. the outside range in shoreview is off of lexington on the west side about 2 miles north of 95

thanks for the great response guys, i'm most interested in an outdoor range (just my preference), but definitely an indoor range for the winter, sounds like there's plenty of options in the area

I shoot at All Seasons Sports in Delano.  Great guys and I get to shoot for free for a couple of months until my bow settles in and we paper tune it.

lentz it was Brian the owner, i dont deal with pushy people. its the fastest way to end a sale from me. they can be inforative and helpful and make suggestions but not pushy

The 3 rivers Elm Creek park is pretty nice for an outdoor range.  $35 for the year

[mncowboy]

rcook,
anda 50 yd target and a somewhat 3d range with bails set at different ranges with paper target out to 62 yds!
