Very Big!!!! The local range is great.Check it out.www.fullquiverandmore.com Click photo's
That is an awesome shop, Greg. We have a shop about 20 min from here, but they are hit and miss for shoots. There are a lot of bowhunters in the area, though.

I don't know of a single bow shop within 30 minutes of my house, and that one is a Gander Mt. with a single lane indoor range only for setting up new bows.

I just shoot indoors in my barn. [&:]

Not that popular. I dont know of a close 3D shooting place or a virtual one.

Several bow clubs in the area, local shop owner has won a national title and runs a really good program for kids and we have many state and regional champs from the area.

Leagues almost every night of the week.

20 years ago when I started archery hunting it was not that popular here in Pa. It was like a national holiday here the 1st day of rifle season! Now I tell ya archery is really picking up and its a big time sport here! I can go to a 3-d shoot pretty much any weekend at the local hunting clubs! I have one behind my house 1 time a month 30 targets its a pretty neat deal. I usually wait till spring time to start shooting outdoors.
My pro shop has an indoor range but with his leagues in the winter its hard to get on there! I would have to say in the last 20 years archery came along 150% here in Pa.

I have a Basspro shop and a Gander Mtn 30 mins away. The Gander Mtn is new so they have a nice range 20 yards and even a 25 yard line. They have about 15 lanes with nice new block targets. Problem is it is just not far enough for indoor 3D. From whatI have seen over the years the indoor 3D ranges just don't survive, they require a lot of square feet and that gets costly unless the shop is jammin with business on a daily basis.
