Hi! I'm new to the forum and was wanting to see if anyone in the st.louis area could help out a little. I am wanting to learn to bow hunt and have no experiance. I have looked on the net for some clubs around but I'm not having much luck. Soooo I thought I would give this a shot. I'm looking for someone that is willing to teach me and help me pick up the basic skills or if someone could point me towards a club that does this sort of thing. Thanks so much

Does your DNR/Game Commision have Hunter Education courses? Excellent offering and lots of info in a 1 or 2 day class.

...and I just moved away from St. louis...

Never found anything in the area other than the big stores, and wouldn't really recomend those for a beginner. But during the 2 years I was there I never traveled that far out of the city except the 2 hr. trip back to my hometown in IL.

I did hear about the Maryville shop though...

Hey Ash,

There is a really good shop called Town Hall Archery over in Belleville, Illinois on Hwy.15. I work in St. Louis but live across the river in IL. I have been going to Town Hall for years. They have an indoor range as well as a techno shooting lane. Hope this helps. It's not far at all from downtown Stl.Ibought all of mybows there and they havestuff in every price range.

Good Luck,

Rob
