Archery USA

By Ronald McCormick

    What an archery shop! If you are in the Boston area and into target archery you must stop in and visit the folks at Archery USA. I was there to attended the shooter school being put on by WIN & WIN. The owner Anthony Bellettini is a national coach, and involved with archery at many levels. The first thing to catch my eye when I entered was the lack of bow hunting stuff around the shop. This is the first archery shop I have been in that has target archery as its main focus. I have nothing against bow hunting, but when I'm looking for target archery items and information and can only see catalogs and talk to someone who knows nothing about target archery, its not a good experience! Archery USA is not that type of shop. Very knowledgeable people are on staff here to help with all aspects of target archery. A full modern indoor range is viewable from the showroom floor. This shop is well stocked, they actually had the new tungsten X10 points available!   What really surprised me was that during our mid day break a birthday party was held on the range for 11 year old Kyle Clement. What a great idea, kids can invite their friends to attended a birthday party at the range during which they receive an archery lesson and get to shoot arrows. This is something that could be done  at other clubs to help promote archery with our youths.  Hats off to Anthony and all the folks at Archery USA for presenting our sport in such a positive way.
